Problem:

How to turn off ProfileUnity's call to home function

 

Symptom:

By Default the ProfileUnity console, when connected to the internet, will send back certain data to Liquidware.  This information is private to Liquidware, not shared with other companies or vendors, and only used internally to help assist in making product improvements.

 

This data for example includes

  1. License count data for your organization 
  2. Configuration information (IE. How many separate configurations exist in console)
  3. FlexApp/FlexDisk Data (How many packages are being used &applications packaged)
    1. This is determined by whether the Admin for instance indicated a packaged app was working in their environment.flexapp.png

 

  1. Filter Counts (How many filters exist)
  2. Portability Counts (How many Portability settings are in play but not path data).

 

Possible Resolution(s)

This can be done in PowerShell today,

You can rename the attached disable-call-to-home.ps1.txt and modify the information relevant to your ENV.

.\disable-call-to-home.ps1 -ProfileUnityUrl "https://localhost:8000" -Username "admin" -Password "the password you set".

You do need to restart the ProU console service once done, also if you have a cluster you only have to run this to one node but you have to restart all three nodes ProU console service

 

Disable

# usage: .\disable-call-to-home.ps1 -ProfileUnityUrl "https://localhost:8000" -Username "xxx" -Password "yyy"

 

Re-enable
# usage: .\disable-call-to-home.ps1 -ProfileUnityUrl "https://localhost:8000" -Username "xxx" -Password "yyy" -Enable $true
