2 Getting Started: Learning INI File Basics

In this chapter you will learn how to construct and use the supported INI files.

It includes:

"Supported INI Files You can Construct"

"Rules and Recommendations for Constructing the INI Files"

"Placing the INI Files into the Folder Structure on the Server"

After you become familiar with the INI file basics, you can refer to the parameter details you need in the other chapters and appendixes of this guide.

Supported INI Files You can Construct

The INI files contain the parameters (and associated options and values) necessary for the various functionality you want.

You can construct the following INI files:

wlx.ini file (see "Working with wlx.ini Files")

{username}.ini file (see "Working with {username}.ini Files")

$MAC.ini file (see "Working with $MAC.ini Files")

IMPORTANT: The INI file processing hierarchy is as follows:

Scenario 1 - $MAC.ini exists. The $MAC.ini file is processed and if the Include=wlx.ini statement is included, then the wlx.ini file is processed.

Scenario 2 - $MAC.ini exists and {username}.ini exists. The $MAC.ini file is processed and if the Include=wlx.ini statement is included, then the wlx.ini file is processed. Once the credentials are provided, the {username}.ini file is processed.

Scenario 3 - wlx.ini exists. The wlx.ini file is processed.

Scenario 4 - wlx.ini exists and {username}.ini exists. The wlx.ini file processed. Once the credentials are provided, the {username}.ini file is processed.

Scenario 5 - No ini files exist. Local configuration is applied.

Working with wlx.ini Files

A wlx.ini file contains the “global” parameters you want that will affect all thin clients accessing the server. Parameters in both Table 4, "Connection Settings: wlx.ini files and $MAC.ini files only," and Table 7, "Connection Settings: wlx.ini files, $MAC.ini files, and {username}.ini files," can be used in a wlx.ini file.

TIP: Parameters in Table 4, "Connection Settings: wlx.ini files and $MAC.ini files only," can only be used in a wlx.ini file; they cannot be used in a {username}.ini file.

Working with $MAC.ini Files

A $MAC.ini file can be used instead of a wlx.ini file for device-specific configurations. If the thin client locates a $MAC.ini file (it is stored in the same directory as a wlx.ini file), then the wlx.ini file is not accessed, unless you use the include=wlx.ini parameter.

Note also that the placement of the include=wlx.ini parameter within the $MAC.ini file will dictate which value will take priority for a same specific parameter that is contained
