FPCClientConfigSettings Collection

The FPCClientConfigSettings collection holds a set of FPCClientSettingsSection objects. Each FPCClientSettingsSection object defines a section of Firewall client settings for a specific client application. When the Firewall Client software is installed, the Firewall client settings sections are provided to the Firewall Client Agent service (FwcAgent) on Firewall clients together with the name or IP address of the Forefront TMG computer or array to use, the set of IP address ranges that are included in the local network (the local address table or LAT), the automatic discovery settings for Web browsers, and the name or IP address of the Web proxy that Web browsers are to use. These settings are updated each time that a client computer is restarted and every six hours after an initial refresh is made.

Other configuration options are set and stored locally on Firewall clients in configuration files. For more information about Firewall client settings and configuration files, see Firewall Clients.

The FPCClientConfigSettings collection can be accessed through the FWClientConfigSettings property of an FPCArray object.

Inheritance

This object inherits from the FPCPersist object, which contains methods and properties related to the persistent storage of an object's data. They include methods for exporting the object's data to and importing it from an XML document.

Methods

The FPCClientConfigSettings collection defines the following methods.

Method	Description
AddSection	Creates a new FPCClientSettingsSection object in the collection and returns a reference to it.
Item	Retrieves the requested FPCClientSettingsSection object from the collection.
Remove	Removes the specified FPCClientSettingsSection object from the collection.

Properties

The FPCClientConfigSettings collection defines the following properties.

Property	Description
_NewEnum	Gets an enumerator object for the collection.
Count	Gets the number of FPCClientSettingsSection objects in the collection.
EnableControlChannelEncryption	Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the Forefront TMG computer can use an encrypted control channel for communicating with Firewall clients.
SupportOldFirewallClients	Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the Forefront TMG computer supports Firewall clients running earlier versions of the Firewall Client software.

Methods Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
CancelWaitForChanges	Cancels the registration established by the WaitForChanges method (for use in C and C++ programming only).
CanImport	Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the properties of the collection and its elements can be imported from the specified XML document.
Export	Writes the stored values of all the properties of the collection and its elements to the specified XML document.
ExportToFile	Writes the stored values of all the properties of the collection and its elements to the specified XML file.
GetServiceRestartMask	Retrieves a 32-bit bitmask of the FpcServices enumerated type that specifies which services need to be restarted for currently unsaved changes to take effect.
Import	Copies the values of all the properties of the collection and its elements from the specified XML document to persistent storage.
ImportFromFile	Copies the values of all the properties of the collection and its elements from the specified XML file to persistent storage.
LoadDocProperties	Provides the XML document's properties so that you can know what information can be imported from the document.
Refresh	Reads the values of all the properties of the collection and its elements from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved.
Save	Writes the current values of all the properties of the collection and its elements to persistent storage.
WaitForChanges	Registers to wait for an event indicating that the contents of the object have changed (for use in C and C++ programming only).

Properties Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
PersistentName	Gets the persistent name of the collection. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy.
VendorParameterSets	Gets an FPCVendorParametersSets collection that can hold sets of custom data for extending the collection.
