User Profile Configuration

There are two types of Pro configuration settings in Web-to‐Host:

• Administrator settings ‐ created by Web-to‐Host administrators using the Session Configuration Manager and deployed to the users as HTML session files.
• User settings ‐ stored in a local configuration file (.cph). If the administrator has enabled editing specific options in the Session Configuration Manager, users create their own customized local configurations settings for options, such as interface color, toolbars, menus, keyboard map or logon script.

In some previous versions of Web-to‐Host, when the administrator made changes to Pro HTML session files, all user changes were reset (deleted).

Web-to‐Host 6.9.4 provides a mechanism that preserves user changes. The SCM Wizard changes do not automatically delete the user's .cph file. Settings which only the user can set are not deleted when you, the administrator, change the HTML session files. This means users do not lose their customized environment with its colors, toolbars, and keyboard mappings.

This chapter lists the conditions that determine which configuration file takes precedence, if both an HTML session files and a user .cph file exist. It also explains how the configuration file is handled when included within a distribution package.
