In profiles, specific parameters with a template key can be configured. To do this, combine the following steps to form a workflow:

 

To use template keys when configuring a profile, proceed as follows:

  1. Open an existing profile or create a new profile.

  2. Click on Edit Configuration in order to bring up the parameters to be updated.

  3. Select a parameter which is to obtain a client-specific value from a template key.

  4. Click the activation symbol in front of the parameter until the desired function becomes active:

    • Inactive parameter - The parameter is inactive and will not be configured by the profile.

    • Active parameter without key - The parameter is active and the set value will be configured by the profile, template keys are not available for the parameter.

    • Active parameter - The parameter is active and the set value will be configured by the profile, template keys are available for the parameter.

    • Template parameter - Template keys are active for this parameter, the profile receives a value from the key later on.

Certain parameters cannot be configured with template keys and only offer the option inactive or active. This applies for example to passwords or parameters which depend on other configuration settings.

 

  1. Click on the selection symbol Selection button in order to select a template key.

  2. Click Add to create a new template key.
