user_id, contact_email etc.
XML identifiers: Requires two keys: One named WHBCFK01-10 with the label user_id, and the matching WHBCFV01-10 with string value of your users’s id, contact email, phone number and so on.
Purpose: Enables user identification etc. via the heartbeat.
Caution: None.
Status: Currently in use.
Category: Heartbeat keys (labels and value).
Usage: Provide both WHBCFKnn and WHBCFVnn with label user_id, email_id, phone_number or similar, and actual value(-s), respectively. This may be done via imports and scripting, or manually, using your EMM/MDM/MAM/UEM system of choice. Note that both labels and values are up to your choosing, and the ones suggested here are based on customer input.
Default: Defaults to none.
Development status: Stable. No immediate plans to add this as a standard feature to heartbeat information, but will be considered for version 3 (scheduled for release in 2022) which will be able to collect such information from Microsoft AD and possibly LDAP and other major catalog systems.
Example: Choosing to use the WAL HeartBeat ConFiguration Key 02 and 03, and Value 09 and 10 to give heartbeats informing about a user’s ID and email address:
…
<key>WHBCFK02</key>
<string>user_id</string>
<key>WHBCFK03</key>
<string>email_address</string>
…
<key>WBCFV02</key>
<string>johndd41</string>
<key>WBCFV02</key>
<string>john.doe@MyCompany2u.co.uk</string>
