USER_ID - UEMLoad configuration option
Description
The USER_ID option specifies the ID of a user account directly from the command line or definition file.
This is an alternative to specifying the ID from a file.
UEM Server uses this information to execute an event handler process in the security context of the specified user account. An event-driven UEM Server requires this information to be stored in an event handler record if the USER_SECURITY option is enabled in the UEM Server configuration. This is the only means by which an event-driven UEM Server can access this information. Because an event-driven UEM Server is started without user interaction, it cannot prompt for user account information if it is required but not provided.
Note
If UEMLoad specifies an encrypted file (via USER_FILE_ENCRYPTED), it extracts the -userid value from that file and stores it in the USER_ID field. However, UEMLoad also saves a reference to the encrypted file itself.
When UEM Server executes a process on behalf of the event handler, it re-extracts the -userid option from the file. This means that if the contents of the encrypted file change after the UEMLoad, the USER_ID value reported in a list or export may not match the actual USER_ID that UEM Server uses when it executes a secured process on behalf of that event handler.
