To get an idea of how profiles can work, let’s build on our printer example from the
preceding discussion on group entries. The following profile entry example shows one
way to use profiles to prioritize resources based on proximity to clients.
In the figure, three users have personalized printer profiles that return server entries for
printers nearest to them first. For example, user John is closest to laser_20, O so the
profile priority 1 returns that binding first. John is furthest from laser_23, so the profile
priority 4 returns that binding last.
Profile entry name: /.:/admin/finance/accts_receivable_printers/johns_profile
/.:/admin/finance/accts_receivable/laser_20 1
/.:/admin/finance/accts_receivable/laser_21 2
