So, i'm just now becoming aware of "Policy Manager", and having been using AutoConfig since the Netscape Mission Control Desktop MCD days (loooong ago), i am concerned about what this entails for those of us who predominantly support Linux (aka "Non-Windows") environments. (i get the impression that Policy Engine will deprecate AutoConfig entirely at some point?)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Enterprise_deployment is the first page i find when searching, and while it indicates there's a JSON file for this, JSON certainly can't be used (AFAIK) for dynamic/runtime-variant configurations. (e.g. setting preferences based upon conditionals in the environment (envvars, client IP subnets, user, etc) using code.) How can we have Policies which are situationally-aware? Like if a laptop moves between internal corporate networks and outside coffee shops, the policy should be able to adapt. Will Policies be mergeable/prioritizable/dynamic? So, i see moving to a JSON policies file as a step down from having a JS engine in 'mozilla.cfg'/autoconfig. Am i missing something? thanks, --stephen -- Stephen Dowdy - Systems Administrator - NCAR/RAL 303.497.2869 - [email protected] - http://www.ral.ucar.edu/~sdowdy/ _______________________________________________ Enterprise mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise To unsubscribe from this list, please visit https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise or send an email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe"
