Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 8.0 - MANAGING SMART CARDS WITH THE ENTERPRISE SECURITY CLIENT 1-23-2010 Manual page 66

Chapter 6. Configuring the Enterprise Security Client
When the Enterprise Security Client is launched, it creates a separate, unique profile directory for each
user on the system. These profiles are stored in different locations on each platform:
• On Windows, this is in C:\Documents and Settings\$USER\Application Data\RedHat
\ESC\Profiles\alphanumeric_string.default/prefs.js.
• On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, this is in ~/.redhat/esc/alphanumeric_string.default/
prefs.js.
NOTE
When the Enterprise Security Client requires any changes to a user's configuration
values, the updated values are written to the user's profile area, not to the default
JavaScript file.
Table 6.2, "prefs.js Parameters"
file is tricky. The prefs.js file is generated and edited dynamically by the Enterprise Security Client,
and manual changes to this file are overwritten when the Enterprise Security Client exits.
