I'm sorry, but I can't. The license prohibits to transfer the files.
But, for example, I have some part that shows this:


*OpenUI *KMAuthUser/Username: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 10 AnySetup *KMAuthUser
*DefaultKMAuthUser: None
*KMAuthUser None/None: " "
*CloseUI: *KMAuthUser


I have played with this in the policy section:

<Policy default>
  JobPrivateValues AccountTrack KMAuthUser KMAuthPass job-name
job-originating-host-name phone
....

but no success.

My question is how to fix a value and not let the user to modify.

Thanks,


Leopold
