Table 7. General Settings: wnos.ini files, {username} INI, and $MAC INI Files (continued)
Locale=<value>
[load={yes | no}]
Locale — Specifies the system language. Locale changes the language for the
user logon-experience screens only displayed during boot-up and logon and not
the configuration or administrator screens.
Values include: English, us, French, fr, German, de, Chinese Simplified, gb,
Chinese Traditional, b5, Japanese, jp, Korean, ko, Latin, la.
load=yes/no specifies whether or not to load the language file. The language file
must end with the locale name and be placed under the folder wnos/locale in
the file server.
NOTE:
For example, if you want to specify French and load the localized messages,
you must place a file named French.msg under the folder wnos/locale in the
file server, and then add Locale=French load=yes in the INI file. You can use
Local=fr instead of Locale=French.
NOTE:
For Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, and Korean
localization, a font file must also be placed under the folder wnos/font in
the file server.
For example, if you want to specify the system language to be Japanese,
you must place a file named Japanese.msg under the folder wnos/locale in
the file server, place a file named Japanese.fnt under the folder wnos/font
in the file server, and then add Locale=Japanese load=yes in the INI file.
If you are under a Wyse maintenance contract, you can download .fnt
and .msg files from your My Downloads page in the Self-Service Center.
If you are not under maintenance and wish to gain access to these files, you
must complete a product registration.
LocaleList=<value>
LocaleList — Specifies a list of locale, so that a user can switch the system
language as needed.
Values include: English, us, French, fr, German, de, Chinese Simplified, gb,
Chinese Traditional, b5, Japanese, jp, Korean, ko, Latin, la.
All the values will be displayed in the GUI. To view the GUI, click System
Preference > General > Locale. Be sure to place the necessary files, for
example German.msg, Japanese.msg, Japanese.fnt, and so on under the correct
folders as described in the Locale parameter description.
**Password=<sign-on password>
[encrypt={no, yes}]
Specifies the password as the sign-on password; no minimum length; maximum
length is 64 characters.
In a wnos.ini file — If set to the default password, the system will sign on
automatically and not wait for username, password, and domain entries.
In a [username].ini file — Be sure it is the encrypted password of the user or
the system will fail to sign on. This can be changed by a user, if allowed, in the
Sign-on dialog box.
encrypt — Default is no. Yes/no option to use an encrypted string for a
password in the INI file instead of clear text. If encrypt=yes, the password in
the INI is an ecrypted string instead of cleartext . For example:
Password=wyseatc@123
or
Password=NCAONIBINMANMLCOLKCNLL \ encrypt=yes
