Description Stefan Gohmann

Currently the UCC client checks the configured boot settings in the LDAP directory and interprets them.

The client should save these settings in UCR otherwise the boot behavior is different depending on whether the LDAP is available or not.

LDAP Policies are cached locally in /var/cache/ucc/client-policy-$(hostname). The UCR variable grub/append can be used to permanently store boot settings

Thinclients will not update the policy cache on every boot/everytime the policies are queried, but will have the policies cached that were valid during the initial join. I think that this behaviour is OK for thinclients. Thinclients could be mounted read/writeable to update the cache file..

Indeed, this is all covered in UCC 1.0/2.0. (The bug was filed during the UCC 1.0 development cycle)
