This topic describes how you can use the Preferences Manager
Service API (Java) to programmatically manage the Preferences Nodes.
You can manually change configuration settings from Administrator
UI. To change the options, navigate to
Home>Settings>User Management> Configuration>Manual Configuration
.
Import
config.xml
after making the changes, you
would notice that all the changes except changes made at node
/Adobe/Livecycle/Config/UM persist
are
lost. The preview of User Management Import and export does not
support changing configuration settings for other components. Now,
these changes can be made using
PreferencesManagerServiceClient
APIs.
Summary of steps
To programmatically manage the Preferences
Nodes, perform the following steps:
-
Include project files.
-
Create an PreferencesManagerService client
-
Invoke the appropriate role or permission operations
Include project files
Include necessary files in your development project. If you are
creating a client application using Java, then include the necessary
JAR files. If you are using web services, then make sure that you
include the proxy files.
Create an PreferencesManagerService client
Before you can programmatically perform a User Management PreferencesManagerService
operation, you must create a PreferencesManagerService client. With
the Java API this is accomplished by creating an PreferencesManagerServiceClient
object.
Invoke the appropriate role or permission operations
Once you have created the service client, you can then invoke
the Preferences Manager operations. The service client allows you
to read and set permissions.
