Client configuration control

When a z/OS® Explorer client connects to the host, it reads the definitions in pushtoclient.properties. If directive config.enabled is enabled, the client compares its current configuration to the definitions in the push-to-client metadata. If differences are found, the client starts a wizard that pulls the required data and activates the setup as dictated by push-to-client.

The reject.config.updates directive in pushtoclient.properties controls whether a user is allowed to reject the configuration updates push-to-client is about to deliver.

A z/OS Explorer client has a wizard, to be used by the client administrator, that can export the current configuration, which in turn is imported by all z/OS Explorer clients through push-to-client. Note that this function is available in all clients, so you should ensure that only client administrators have write permission to the z/OS UNIX directories that hold the push-to-client metadata (/var/zexpl/pushtoclient).
