2Getting 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
Page 12
4Chapter 2
in both the wlx.ini file and the $MAC.ini file but is defined differently (different values for
the same parameter).
For example, if the wlx.ini file has parameterA=valueB, and the $MAC.ini file has the
same parameterA=valueC, then:
- If the include=wlx.ini parameter is included in the $MAC.ini file before the
parameterA=valueC statement, then the wlx.ini parameterA=valueB is discarded and
parameterA=valueC (from the $MAC.ini file) is the final value used.
- If the include=wlx.ini parameter is included in the $MAC.ini file after the
parameterA=valueC statement, then the $MAC.ini parameterA=valueC is discarded and
parameterA=valueB (from the wlx.ini file) is the final value used.
Working with {username}.ini Files
A {username}.ini file contains the user-specific or “user profile” parameters you want
that will comprise the connection profile for an individual user. These parameters will
affect only the user you specify. Parameters in Table 7, "Connection Settings: wlx.ini
files, $MAC.ini files, and {username}.ini files," can be used in a {username}.ini file.
TIP: “User profile” parameters (found in the {username}.ini file) generally override the
identically named “global” parameters (found in the wlx.ini file), however, some “global”
parameters do not allow this (for hierarchical precedence of one variable over another,
refer to the parameter descriptions in Table 7, "Connection Settings: wlx.ini files,
$MAC.ini files, and {username}.ini files,").
CAUTION: If both PNAgent/PNLite and a user profile are being used in the
environment, the username must be defined in the Windows domain to be used, and
the password used must be the same for both the Windows domain and the user
profile.
Rules and Recommendations for Constructing the INI Files
In general, Wyse Enhanced Ubuntu INI files follow currently accepted “standard” INI file
formatting conventions. The INI files consist of Wyse parameters. Any of the parameters
can be used if you desire, but are not necessary unless you want changes from client
and “other” defaults (for example, “other” can be the default resolution of your
monitor). Every parameter (and their options) has a name and a value, with the name
appearing to the left of the equals sign (name=value). All parameters with the same
name in the various INI files have the same meaning (that is, a parameter named
WyseXYZ in a wlx.ini file and named WyseXYZ in a {username}.ini file will have the same
meaning). Number signs (#) indicate the start of a comment. Comments can begin
anywhere on a line. Everything between the # and the End of Line is ignored. Along
with these general formatting conventions, use the following guidelines when
constructing the INI files:
1. Global Connect Parameters First
Global connect parameters should be listed before other connect parameters in a
wlx.ini file.
2. Continue Lines with a Space and Backslash
Placing a space and backslash ( \) at the end of a line indicates line continuation;
that is, the backslash means that the line and the following line are, for the purposes
of reading code, the same line. No white space can appear after the backslash; the
requirement of white space between parameter entries is maintained by the use of
the space before the backslash. In addition, starting all parameters at the left margin
and placing at least one leading space (or tab) at the beginning of all (and only)
continuation lines makes an INI file easier to read.
Note that in circumstances where you require string concatenation, you can use a
backslash without a space before or after it to concatenate with the first set of
characters from the previous line; for example the strings snow and ball may be
concatenated to give snowball.
Page 13
Getting Started: Learning INI File Basics5
3. Blank Lines Make Files Easy to Read
Using blank lines is recommended for making code easier to read.
4. Comment with a # Sign
As stated earlier, number signs (#) indicate the start of a comment. Comments can
begin anywhere on a line. Everything between the # and the End of Line is ignored.
5. Values with White Spaces Require Quotation Marks
Values (of parameters and their options) containing white spaces must be placed
inside quotation marks (use common-practice nesting rules).
6. Separate Lists with Semicolons or Commas
Use semicolons or commas for list separators.
7. {username}.ini Files must be Write-Enabled
All {username}.ini files must be write-enabled to allow the thin client to place the
encrypted user passwords in the files.
8. Use the wlx.ini File to Set the Maximum Number of Connection Entries Allowed
The combined number of connection entries defined in a {username}.ini file and a
wlx.ini cannot exceed a defined total maximum number of connections. The
maximum number of connections has a default limit of 216, but can be set from
100 to 1000 using the wlx.ini file.
9. Use System Variables with Some Options of the Connect Parameter
Some options of the Connect parameter can use the system variables shown in
Table 1 to map the string. All combinations of the variables are supported. For
options that support use of system variables, see "Connect Parameter: Options."
Table 1 System Variables
OptionValue
$SNSerial number used.
$MACMAC address used.
$IPIP Address used.
$DNSign-on domain name used.
$UNSign-on name used.
$PWSign-on password used.
$TNTerminal name.

6Chapter 2
Placing the INI Files into the Folder Structure on the Server
If you have set up your environment to provide your thin clients running Wyse
Enhanced Ubuntu Linux with automatic configurations (as described in Administrators
Guide: Dell® Wyse Enhanced Ubuntu™ Linux), you can use the following folder
structure on your server under the C:/inetpub/ftproot folder (for FTP) or
C:/inetpub/wwwroot folder (for HTTP or HTTPS) and place your INI files and other
necessary files inside the structure as noted (this list describes the folder structure,
starting with the root directory).
NOTE: You can also use WDM to provide your thin clients running Wyse Enhanced
Ubuntu Linux with automatic configurations.
/wyse/The root directory. It stores the wlx folder and the addons
folder.
/wyse/wlxThe main INI configuration folder. It stores the following:
•wlx.ini file or $MAC.ini file
•bitmap folder
•certs folder
•ini folder
/wyse/wlx/bitmapThe folder where you can place custom images you plan to
use.
/wyse/wlx/certsThe folder where you can place the CA certificates that can be
imported to a thin client.
Note: Use the Certs and ImportCerts INI parameters in the
wlx.ini file to import the certificates to thin clients.
/wyse/wlx/iniThe folder where you can place the {username}.ini files.
Page 15
3Parameters for WLX INI and $MAC
INI Files Only
This chapter provides the supported parameters that you can use in a wlx.ini file and in
a $MAC.ini file.
TIP: For information to help you construct and use the supported INI files, see "Getting
Started: Learning INI File Basics."
CAUTION: Parameters in Tables 2 through Table 2 can only be used in a wlx.ini file or
$MAC.ini file; they cannot be used in a {username}.ini file.
To increase usability (such as relation to thin client dialog box equivalents), the
supported parameters are separated into the following categories:
•"General Settings (wlx.ini and $MAC.ini Files Only)"
•"Peripheral Settings (wlx.ini and $MAC.ini Files Only)"
•"Connection Settings (wlx.ini and $MAC.ini Files Only)"
Page 16
8Chapter 3
General Settings (wlx.ini and $MAC.ini Files Only)
Table 2 contains parameters used for configuring general settings (bold values are
defaults).
Table 2 General Settings: wlx.ini files and $MAC.ini files only
ParameterDescription
AudioMute={no, yes}Yes/no option to mute the audio.
AudioVolume= {0 to 100}Determines the audio volume level.
Values of 0 to 100 provide more exact volume level.
AutoInstallPackagesUrl="url dir1 dir2"Used for auto installing packages from a url (ftp or
http/https) where packages reside, without the need
of establishing an APT repository.
How to use:
1 - Provide an ftp or http/https url as the value for "url
dir1 dir2" in the INI file.
For example: AutoInstallPackagesUrl="ftp://
10.100.xxx.xxx dir1-name dir2-name"
NOTES:
a) the url should be within double quotes ""
b) the "ftp" can be replaced by "http/https"
c) the dir1_name is the name of directory under the
base directory of ftp server or http/https server
d) the dir2_name (optional) is the name of directory
under dir1_name. More subdirectories are acceptable
2 - Place all debian packages (ending with .deb in file
names) to be automatically installed/updated under
the directory dir1_name/dir2_name on the ftp or
http/https server.
3 - Create a "directory" file which is generated by
running "sudo ls >directory" in the directory
mentioned in Step 2 above.
4 - Log file is /tmp/autoInstallPackages.log where
success or failure (with failing reasons) is reported. In
most failure cases the lack of proper dependencies is
the reason for failure (so that more packages can be
provided in the ftp/http/https server).
5 - There is a warning notification on the panel during
installation for not turning off the power.
NOTE: The NewAddons parameter specifies which
packages among all installable packages should be
installed by this INI command. All dependent
packages must be provided together with the
packages to be installed.
ChangeAdminPassword=passwordSpecifies the new password for the admin user.
ChangeGuestPassword=passwordSpecifies the new password for the guest user.
ChangeRootPassword=passwordSpecifies the new password for the root user.
ChangeThinUserPassword=passwordSpecifies the new password for the thin user.

Parameters for WLX INI and $MAC INI Files Only15
Connection Settings (wlx.ini and $MAC.ini Files Only)
Table 4 contains parameters used for configuring connection settings.
Table 4 Connection Settings: wlx.ini files and $MAC.ini files only
Adds entries to the /hosts file where aliases are an
optional space-separated list of host names.
Yes/no option to automatically log the user in as
DefaultUser if no login occurs before the CountDown
interval. This is for use at kiosks and other
environments where the user logs in without human
intervention. Autologin can be canceled by pressing
the ESC button. The first time a device reads
Autologin, it may stay at the login screen for a few
seconds before taking effect. Once doing so, it will
automatically log in and all future reboots will
autologin with the defined delay. Changing from
AutoLogin=yes to AutoLogin=no may require 2
reboots to take effect in some cases. No password is
required for automatic login even if the user normally
needs a password.
The wlx.ini will be fetched and processed every time
the network comes up; so if the network goes down
and is restored during a session, it may affect existing
settings (although the login-related settings will not
be apparent until the current user logs out).
Also note that neither mechanism actually
authenticates the user—they just verify that the user
exists. But both methods, and normal manual login,
will fetch and process a $USER.ini file, if one exists,
independent of what, if any, authentication
mechanism was used.
AutoSignoff={no, yes} Yes/no option to automatically log the user off when
all connections are closed.
DisableDomain={no, yes}Yes/no option to disable the display of the Domain
field on the login dialog box. The default value
depends on the value of the DomainList option. When
the DomainList is empty, DisableDomain defaults to
yes (the display of a Domain field does not display);
otherwise, it defaults to no (the display of a Domain
field does display).
DisableVNC={no, yes}Yes/no option to disable the VNC server.
EnableLocal={yes, no}Yes/no option to enable locally configured
A list of domain names that will appear in the login
dialog box as options to help users in selecting the
domain to log in to PNAgent/PNLite servers. Once

4Parameters for WLX INI, $MAC INI,
and {username} INI Files
This chapter provides the supported parameters that you can use in a wlx.ini file, a
$MAC.ini file, and in a {username}.ini file.
TIP: For information to help you construct and use the supported INI files, see "Getting
Started: Learning INI File Basics."
To increase usability (such as relation to thin client dialog box equivalents), the
supported parameters are separated into the following categories:
•"General Settings (wlx.ini, $MAC.ini, and {username}.ini Files)"
•"Peripheral Settings (wlx.ini, $MAC.ini, and {username}.ini Files)"
•"Connection Settings (wlx.ini, $MAC.ini, and {username}.ini Files)"
Page 30
22Chapter 4
General Settings (wlx.ini, $MAC.ini, and {username}.ini Files)
Table 5 contains parameters used for configuring general settings.
Table 5 General Settings: wlx.ini files, $MAC.ini files, and {username}.ini files
ParameterDescription
DesktopTaskBar={bottom, top, left,
right}
Include=path/filenameIncludes another .ini file at the position of this
DesktopTaskBar — Specifies the position of the
taskbar. For example: DesktopTaskBar=left
command.
NOTE: Only one level of include is allowed (nesting is
not allowed).
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 in both the wlx.ini file and the
$MAC.ini file but is defined differently (different values
for the same parameter).
For example, if the wlx.ini file has parameterA=valueB,
and the $MAC.ini file has the same
parameterA=valueC, then:
- If the include=wlx.ini parameter is included in the
$MAC.ini file before the parameterA=valueC
statement, then the wlx.ini parameterA=valueB is
discarded and parameterA=valueC (from the $MAC.ini
file) is the final value used.
- If the include=wlx.ini parameter is included in the
$MAC.ini file after the parameterA=valueC statement,
then the $MAC.ini parameterA=valueC is discarded
and parameterA=valueB (from the wlx.ini file) is the
final value used.
INIFileSource={
cache, local, server}Default is cache.
Specifies the location of the ini file to use:
•local is the ini file created from settings made
on the client GUI.
•cache is the cached/saved/used-at
least-once ini file (originally from a file server
or from the local GUI—for example, a GUI
initially set up by an administrator).
IMPORTANT: If a file server is available, the cache
value will still allow the client to first look to a file
server for the latest ini available on the server to
use. However, if a file server is not found (for
example, the file server is down), the client will use
the cached/saved/used-at least-once ini file.
•server is the ini file only from the file server
(such as an FTP server). NOTE: The server
value will not allow the client to use a cached
ini file.
Panel.NetworkIcon={no, yes} Yes/no option to display the network icon on the
home panel for low and none privilege users.
Password=<password>Specifies the plain text or base64 encoded password
for the ini user.

the passwords are processed as base64 encoded
strings.
NOTE: This parameter can be used multiple times in
an INI file. The statements following the
PasswordEncryptionCode that contain the passwords
will be processed based on the encryption code
defined.
Privilege={High, None, Low} Privilege controls operator privileges and access to
thin client resources.
Value and Operator Privileges
High — (default) For administrators. All thin client
resources are available with no restrictions. A
high-level user can reset the device to factory
defaults.
Low — For a typical user. Access is granted to the
Connection Manager and desktop panel, but not the
More Applications button or Control Center. Users
can an view connections, but not add or modify them.

the desktop by the administrator, not the Connection
Manager, desktop panel, More Applications button, or
Control Center.
The default high privilege level is stored in the
permanent registry.
Specifies Shutdown screen options for low and none
privilege users.

"Connection Settings: wlx.ini files, $MAC.ini files, and
{username}.ini files" and see also Drives= in Table 12
"RDP Connect Options."
Yes/no option to enable drive mapping in an RDP
session. Default is yes.
Example:
First, for RDP drive mapping to work, you need to add:
RDP.DriveMap=yes
Second, to map a usb drive for ALL RDP connections,
you would do this outside of any RDP connection
definition. An example that maps the usb drive uses
base directory to map a subdirectory called test on
the usb drive would look like this:
RDP.DriveMap=yes
RDP.Drives=M=disk,/test
You can alternatively specify a drive to map for only
one connection by making it part of the RDP
connection definition. You still need the
RDP.DriveMap=yes outside the connection definition
and then, inside you would use:
Drives=M=disk,/test

[PPD=PPD name]Directly specifies a Postscript Printer Definition
filename for use as a local printer driver.
NOTE: The PPD option can be useful when attaching
a local printer for which you already have a CUPS
configuration on another system.

PrinterURI
Table 17 contains the supported options you can use for the PrinterURI parameter.
TIP: The PrinterURI command line defines a printer using a URI supported by the
Common Unix Printing System (CUPS). This command is useful when you want the thin
client to access a printer for which you already have a working CUPS client because
you can simply copy the URI from the /cups/printers.conf file on the existing client.
CAUTION: Only the Name option is required for all supported printer parameters; other
options you can use for the printer parameter are optional.
TIP: Additional protocols beyond those listed here (for example, FTP and TFTP) may be
supported by the CUPS system on the thin client.
Table 20 PrinterURI Options
OptionsDescription
[Default={yes, no}]Indicates that the option block defines the default
printer for the thin client. If it occurs on more than
one printer definition in the INI file, the last definition
to specify is chosen as the default.
[Description=text]Offers a short, human-readable description of the
printer being defined. If the description includes blank
spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks.
[Enable={yes, no}]Yes/no option to specify that the printer is available
for use.
[EnableLPD={yes, no}]This parameter is retained for backwards
compatibility; otherwise, it is ignored.
[ModelID=Linux driver name]Identifies the printer for the purpose of choosing a
Linux printer driver (for example, “HP LaserJet 4”).
Usually this parameter is not specified for any locally
attached printers; it is used for LPR printers on the
network.
Name=printer nameProvides both the name that is given in the local
printers list and the internal name of the local print
queue. Name must be between 1 and 16 characters,
starting with a letter and composed entirely of letters,
digits, underscores, and dashes.
NOTE: This parameter is mandatory (all other
common parameters are optional).
