If set, existing NICI user files may need to novell error be copied or moved to the new location. If the user profile directory is enabled, NICI does not set the ACLs on this directory. It relies on existing security properties (ACLs, inheritance, and ownership) of the user’s profile directory.Use this option very carefully as you may disclose all users’ NICI keys. The way we look at this novell error code is, we rely on the filesystem of the native platform for security (in this case - Windows filesystem security). By enabling the "EnableUserProfileDirectory" registry settings, we are moving the NICI keys to a place on the file system that anyone can browse and view, which in turn means the users keys are not secured by the filesytem anymore.
