[Bug 1052091] Re: Can't get installation settings from Landscape

[Dean Henrichsmeyer]

Matthew,

We'll keep the Landscape client settings the same as what's in the
system settings dialog now which is:

 * Service type (hosted or LDS)
 * Account name (in the case of hosted)
 * Server URL (in the case of LDS)
 * Passphrase (optional)

In terms of the installer preseeding, we're keeping the scope of this
limited to FDE so just whether or not to enable FDE will be the only
thing.

In terms of overridable, that depends on what's returned from Landscape.
If it's set as optional in the Landscape account, then it will be
optional and the user can choose. If FDE is mandatory, then that will be
chosen and not overridable. Similarly if it's set to never enable FDE.
Obviously the user can choose not to register with Landscape and can do
whatever they want. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks!

Title:
  Can't get installation settings from Landscape

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For 13.04 the plan is to give the opportunity for users and companies
  to register the machine with their Landscape account or instance and
  pull down applicable preference(s) such as whether or not to enable
  full disk encryption. We need a tasteful splash screen early in the
  installer for that option to be available.
