The
profile
+editor allows the user to set default values for new accounts.
+These defaults are saved as files in
config/profiles.
+
+
Profilemain.php
+
+This is the start page of the
profile
+editor. The user can select to add/modify/remove selected
+account profiles.
+
+The list of existing account profiles is returned by
getAccountProfiles() in
modules.inc. It includes all
+profile names without file extensions.
+
+
Profilepage.php
+
+This script is used to display the account profile to the user.
+
+The profile options include the LDAP OU suffix and options provided by
+the account modules.
+
+The values for the OU selection are read with
search_units().
+
+The
account modules provide
+all other profile options. The profile editor displays a separate
+fieldset for each module containing its options.
+The function
print_option()
+manages the display of the different option types (checkbox, select,
+...). The type of each option is saved in
$_SESSION['profile_types'].
+See the
modules specification
+for a complete list of supported types.
+
+The profiles have unique names under which they are saved. If a profile
+with the same name already exists it will be overwritten.
+When the user selects to save the profile he will be redirected to
+profilecreate.php.
+
+
Profilecreate.php
+This script takes the values which were entered in profilepage.php and
+checks them for correctness.
+
+First the values are converted to the correct type (checkbox ->
+Boolean) by checking
$_SESSION['profile_types'].
+
+Then LAM will replace all "\'" with "'" if
magic_quotes_gpc is on.
+
+Now the input data is checked for correctness by calling
checkProfileOptions(). The
account modules return a list of
+error messages if one or more options are incorrect.
+If there are errors they will be displayed, otherwise the profile is
+saved by calling
saveAccountProfile().
+
+
Profiledelete.php
+When the user selected to delete a profile in
profilemain.php he is redirected to
+this page.
+
+LAM will ask once again if the user is sure to delete the profile. If
+this is the case the profile will be deleted with
delAccountProfile() from
profiles.inc.
