Abstract
Provided is a method, system, program, and data structures method, system, program, and data structures for configuring a client computer connected to a network, wherein a remote computer is capable of communicating with the client computer over the network. Sets of configuration parameters are stored in a non-volatile storage unit. The sets of configuration parameters instruct at least one program how to initialize operational parameters and load programs into the client computer memory during a power on. For each set of configuration parameters, a token is stored in the non-volatile storage unit indicating access rights to the set of configuration parameters. The token specifies whether management entities running on the remote computer and client computer can access the set of configuration parameters for that token.
