11 1 Introduction Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) from Dell combines the security, flexibility, and market-leading usability of SUSE Linux Enterprise with Dell s thin computing optimizations in management and user experience. It is ideal for organizations that want to run server-based, Web-based, or local applications (including legacy applications) without the deployment and security concerns of a non-standard Linux distribution. Session and networks services available on enterprise networks may be accessed on enterprise networks, a direct intranet connection, or from a remote location using a secure gateway from Citrix or VMware. Wyse Enhanced SLE Initialization (INI) files are plain-text files that you can construct to contain the configuration information you want for your thin clients running Wyse Enhanced SLE (both on a global level and on an individual user level). For example, these INI files can be used by applications to save information about a user s preferences and operating environment. CAUTION: Information and procedures presented in this guide are intended for use by system administrators and should not be used by untrained persons.

12 2 Chapter 1 About this Guide This guide is intended for administrators of Dell thin clients running Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE). It provides the detailed information you need to help you understand and use the Wyse Enhanced SLE INI files. It contains information on the different INI files you can use and the rules for constructing the files. It also provides the parameter details you need (with working examples) to get the most out of your INI files.

It provides information and detailed system configurations to help you design and manage a Wyse Enhanced SLE environment.

13 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 8, "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

14 4 Chapter 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 8, "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 8, "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 SLE INI files follow currently accepted standard INI file formatting conventions. The INI files consist of Wyse parameters. If you are using an INI file, the only parameter you must use is the Connect parameter (see Connect in Table 8 "Connection Settings: wlx.ini files, $MAC.ini files, and {username}.ini files"). Any of the rest 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. Connect is the Only Required Parameter As stated earlier, if you are using an INI file, the only parameter you must use is the Connect parameter. Any of the rest of the parameters can be used if you desire, but are not necessary unless you want changes from client and other defaults. 3. Continue Lines by using 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

15 Getting Started: Learning INI File Basics 5 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. 4. Blank Lines Make Files Easy to Read Using blank lines is recommended for making code easier to read. 5. Comment by using 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. 6. 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). 7. Separate Lists by using Semicolons or Commas Use semicolons or commas for list separators. 8. {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. 9. 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. 10.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 Option $SN $MAC $IP $DN $UN $PW $TN Value Serial number used. MAC address used. IP Address used. Sign-on domain name used. Sign-on name used. Sign-on password used. Terminal name.

16 6 Chapter 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 SUSE Linux Enterprise with automatic updates and configurations (as described in Administrators Guide: Dell Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise Release 11 SP2/SP3), 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). /wyse/ The root directory. It stores the wlx folder and the addons folder. It also stores the following files, which are used for imaging and updating devices: Latest-image.raw Latest-image.raw.info /wyse/wlx /wyse/wlx/bitmap /wyse/wlx/certs /wyse/wlx/ini /wyse/addons The main INI configuration folder. It stores the following: wlx.ini file or $MAC.ini file bitmap folder certs folder ini folder The folder where you can place custom images you plan to use. The 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. The folder where you can place the {username}.ini files. The folder where you can place the add-ons you want to use. It also stores the directory file and the *.rpm packages available to be installed on the thin client. The directory file should list all available add-ons. The directory file is required in the addons folder to guarantee that add-ons are properly located. NOTE: If you want to do an update with the Preserve changes option enabled, ensure that your addons folder includes a copy of your current add-ons. The system may require two reboots to fully update the firmware and add-ons while preserving local changes.

17 3 Parameters 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. IMPORTANT: The underlined value for a parameter is the default value. Some parameters also have options shown within brackets [ ]. If an option has an underlined value (default), that option and default value will automatically be used with the parameter (options without underlined values can also be used if you want to, but are not automatically used with the parameter). In addition, when using parameters and options, you can leave the default value or change it to another value shown. For example, in the following case where: ParameterX={yes, no} [Option1={0, 1}] [Option2={1, 2, 3, 4}] If you use ParameterX, then Option1 and its default value 0 will automatically be used as Option1 has an underlined value (default of 0). You can still use Option2 if you want to, however, Option2 is not automatically used with the parameter as Option2 does not have a default (underlined) value. 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)" "Custom GNOME Settings (wlx.ini and $MAC.ini Files Only)"

18 8 Chapter 3 General Settings (wlx.ini and $MAC.ini Files Only) Table 2 contains parameters used for configuring general settings (underlined values are defaults). Table 2 General Settings: wlx.ini files and $MAC.ini files only Parameter ActiveDirectoryServer=<Active Directory Server IP> AudioMute={no, yes} AudioVolume=<value of 0 to 100> AutoPower={no, yes} BiosCmosImages=<PlatformType>-<BI OS/CMOS>-<BiosVersion>.img ChangeAdminPassword=<password> ChangeGuestPassword=<password> ChangeRootPassword=<password> ChangeThinUserPassword=<password> DefaultUser=<username> DisableReadyMode={no, yes} ActiveDirectoryServer - Active Directory Server IP for Domain Login to the client. For example,: ActiveDirectoryServer= Yes/no option to mute the audio. Determines the audio volume level. Values of 0 to 100 provide more exact volume level. Yes/no option on how the system starts when the power is first applied to the thin client. If set to yes, then the system starts itself without waiting for users to press the power button (in cases where power was lost unexpectedly; even if the thin client was shut down properly before power was lost unexpectedly, when the power is restored, the thin client will be powered on). This setting is useful in a kiosk environment. Once an AutoPower statement is processed, it alters the behavior of the thin client until a countermanding statement is processed. The effect of an AutoPower=yes statement continues even if the statement is removed from the INI file in which it was found. Use of the AutoPower option does not interfere with performing a user directed shutdown. Do Not Use. No Longer Supported. Specifies the new password for the admin user. Default is base-64 encoded. Specifies the new password for the guest user. Default is base-64 encoded. Specifies the new password for the root user. Default is base-64 encoded. Specifies the new password for the thin user. Default is base-64 encoded. Specifies the default sign-on user. See also AutoLogin. Do Not Use. No Longer Supported.

24 14 Chapter 3 Table 2 General Settings: wlx.ini files and $MAC.ini files only, Continued Parameter TimeServer=<host address>[;<host address>] TimeZone=<zone value> [ManualOverride={no, yes}] UpdateBiosCmos={no, yes} Update.Mode={Both, Image, Addons, None} Update.Preserve_changes= {no, yes} Specifies the SNTP time servers to use for time retrieval. You can designate one or two (as shown in the parameter example) Network Time Protocol servers (separated by a semicolon). The client synchronizes the time of day to the servers at boot time, and keeps the time in sync with the servers during operation. TimeZone Specifies the time zone if the zone is unspecified on the thin client or is used with ManualOverride. ManualOverride Yes/no option to override the thin client System Preference Menu setting with this TimeZone setting. TimeZone settings in the wlx.ini file will be saved into NVRAM if EnableLocal=yes is set in the wlx.ini file. NOTE: For the complete list of TimeZone values, see "TimeZone Parameter: Values."

Value and : Both Updates image and add-ons Image Updates image only Addons Updates add-ons only None Does not upgrade Default is yes. Yes/no option to preserve changes while upgrading. No means it enables the check box Restore factory defaults when updating in the novell-addon-manager > Server settings applet, so that after image upgrade/downgrade it will not preserve the previous image device settings (that is the device will be in factory reset condition after imaging). Yes means it disables the check box Restore factory defaults when updating in the novell-addon-manager > Server settings applet, so that after image upgrade/downgrade it will preserve/apply previous image device settings to to the image after imaging.

25 Parameters for WLX INI and $MAC INI Files Only 15 Peripheral Settings (wlx.ini and $MAC.ini Files Only) Table 3 contains parameters used for configuring peripheral settings such as keyboard, monitor, mouse, printer, and so on (underlined values are defaults). Table 3 Parameter Peripheral Settings: wlx.ini files and $MAC.ini files only CursorHideDelay=<value of 1 to 60> MicMute={no, yes} Specifies the amount of time to wait before the cursor is hidden (cursor will be hidden after the specified number of seconds). After pressing any keyboard key or mouse movement/mouse event, the cursor will reappear. Yes/no option to mute the microphone volume. MicVolume=<value of 0 to100> Default is 50. Specifies the microphone volume level.

26 16 Chapter 3 Connection Settings (wlx.ini and $MAC.ini Files Only) Table 4 contains parameters used for configuring connection settings (underlined values are defaults). Table 4 Connection Settings: wlx.ini files and $MAC.ini files only Parameter AddtoEtcHosts="ip1 FQDN1 aliases1;ip2 FQDN2 aliases2;..." AutoLogin={no, yes} [CountDown=<value in seconds>] AutoLogin (continued) 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. NOTE: SignOn=no and AutoLogin=yes are alternative parameters/ways to provide similar functionality. CAUTION: SignOn=no and AutoLogin=yes should not be used together. In general, use AutoLogin; SignOn=no is being deprecated. AutoLogin=yes logs in as the default user; which may be set via the DefaultUser ini-file parameter; the privilege level is that user's normal privilege level; determined in the same manner as if they had logged in manually. ADVANCED NOTE: Any valid user may be specified; but note that PNA and Active Domain users will not obtain a password first; which may prevent them from accessing the Published Apps or Domain services. If there is no DefaultUser specified in the registry, it will use Guest. Note that for both SignOn=no and AutoLogin with a short delay, it is quite likely that the login process will proceed before the network is up and the wlx.ini file has been read. This means that changes to the wlx.ini login parameters will not take effect until a logout or reboot. Note also that changes to the System/DefaultUser or System/ PrivLevel registry keys do not automatically adjust the login parameters; that is normally done only after fetching and parsing a wlx.ini file when a network interface comes up. If you need to change the parameters outside that sequence; use the /sbin/configuregdm script to modify the system's login configuration. 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.

27 Parameters for WLX INI and $MAC INI Files Only 17 Table 4 Connection Settings: wlx.ini files and $MAC.ini files only, Continued Parameter AutoSignoff={no, yes} DisableDomain={no, yes} DisableVNC={no, yes} DomainList=<list of Windows domain names> EnableApplianceMode={no, yes} [XenDesktopURL=<URL of Xendesktop>] EnableBanner={no, yes} [BannerMsg=<text description>] EnableLocal={yes, no} EnableSSH={no, yes} EthernetSpeed={Auto, 100M-F, 100M-H, 10M-F, 10M-H} Yes/no option to automatically log the user off when all connections are closed. Yes/no option to disable the display of a Domain field. 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). Yes/no option to disable an installed VNC-Server Add-on. 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 specified, it is saved in non-volatile memory. NOTE: Be sure to enclose in quotation marks if spaces are included. For example: DomainList= North_America; SQA; test-domain NOTE For SP3: This parameter works only when you install the optional Viance addon in SP3. Wyse Enhanced SLE devices can be converted to Desktop Appliance mode by enabling the EnableApplianceMode parameter. When enabled, upon system boot the thin client will connect to the XenDesktop server and prompt for XenDesktop login credentials to access the desktop. By default EnableApplianceMode=No. XenDesktopURL specifies the virtual desktop to use when EnableApplianceMode is enabled. For example:- EnableApplianceMode=Yes XenDesktopURL= EnableBanner Provides a banner description. BannerMsg The text must be enclosed in double quotation marks if it contains spaces or punctuation characters. Default is yes. Yes/no option to enable locally configured connection entries to show in the connection list (that is, activate local entries). Yes/no option to enable SSH. Default is Auto. Specifies the NIC speed: Auto - auto-negotiates speed with peer (default). 100M-F is 100 Mbps Full Duplex. 100M-H is 100 Mbps Half Duplex. 10M-F is 10 Mbps Full Duplex. 10M-H is 10 Mbps Half Duplex. NOTE: Gigabit ethernet (1000Mbps) is available on hardware that supports it via the Auto value.
