How INI Files are Employed

INI files (created and maintained by the administrator) determine how the thin client is
configured. The thin client accesses INI files from the server during the initialization
process. Typically, INI files are accessed through FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS; if no protocol
is specified, the default is anonymous FTP.
INI files are employed as follows:
•
•
•
When a thin client is initialized, it accesses the global wlx.ini file. When a user logs in,
the thin client accesses the user's unique {username}.ini file. For detailed information
on constructing and using Wyse Enhanced Ubuntu Linux INI files, refer to Reference
Guide: Dell
TIP: If both PNLite and a user profile are being used, the username must be defined in
the Windows domain to be used, and the password must be the same for the domain
and the profile.
wlx.ini - This is the global INI file. One wlx.ini file is available to all users. It contains
global parameters for all thin clients accessing the server. If the operating system
cannot find wlx.ini, it defaults to wnos.ini.
{username}.ini - This file is unique to each user. The {username}.ini file contains the
connection profile for each user. Parameters in the user profile generally supersede
the identically named global parameters.
$MAC.ini - This file can be used for device-specific configuration. If the thin client
locates this INI file (it is stored in the same directory as wlx.ini), wlx.ini is not
accessed, unless you use the include=wlx.ini parameter.
