2.1. About Phone Home Profiles
The Enterprise Security Client is based on Mozilla XULRunner. Consequently, each user has
a profile similar to the user profiles used by Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. The Enterprise
Security Client accesses the configuration preferences file. When the Enterprise Security
Client caches information for each token, the information is stored in the user's configuration
file. The next time the Enterprise Security Client is launched, it retrieves the information from
the configuration file instead of contacting the server again.
2.2. Setting Global Phone Home Information
Phone Home is triggered automatically when a security token is inserted into a machine. The
system immediately attempts to read the Phone Home URL from the token and to contact the
TPS server. For new tokens or for previously formatted tokens, the Phone Home information
may not be available to the card.
The Enterprise Security Client configuration file, esc-prefs.js, has a parameter which
allows a global Phone Home URL default to be set. This parameter is
esc.global.phone.home.url and is not in the file by default.
To define the global Phone Home URL:
1. Remove any existing Enterprise Security Client user profile directory. Profile directories are
created automatically when a smart card is inserted.
• On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the profile directory is ~/.redhat/esc.
• On Windows, the profile directory is C:/Documents and
Settings/user_name/Application Data/RedHat/ESC.
• On Mac, the profile directory is ~/Library/Application Support/ESC.
2. Open the esc-prefs.js file.
• On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the profile directory is
/usr/lib/esc-1.0.1/defaults/preferences.
• On Windows, the profile directory is C:/Program Files/Red
Hat/ESC/defaults/preferences.
• On Mac, the profile directory is
