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.
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.
