Parameter Description
FileServer=List of {IP address, DNS name}
[Username=username]
[Password=password]
[SecurityMode={Low, Warning, Full, default}]
[Username-Enc={encrypted_password_string}]
[Password-Enc={encrypted_password_string}]
FileServer — Specifies the FTP or Web (http://) server IP address or DNS name
that is entered into thin client local setup (non-volatile memory); the thin client
immediately uses this server to access files.
Username — Specifies the username of the file server.
Password — Specifies the password of the file server.
NOTE:
The target file server must support access using the same user
credentials used in the INI files.
The optional keyword Username and Password specify the username/password of
the file server. When the client fetches the WNOS.INI file from a HTTPS server,
ThinOS supports different security modes. The default follows SecurityPolicy and
may be one of the three modes. The option SecurityMode specifies these security
modes.
SecurityMode — Specifies the security level for the file server during client
verification of the server certificate. This option is only valid when connecting to an
https file server.
When configuring the https file server, the Username and Password options of the
FileServer parameter can be omitted. Use the following guidelines:
• Set SecurityMode=Full to have the client verify the server certificate in highest
security mode; if any error occurs during verification, the client will not connect
to the server and a pop-up message is displayed.
• Set SecurityMode=Warning to have the client provide a warning when the client
cannot verify the server certificate, but still allow the user to select to continue
client connection to the server.
• Set SecurityMode=Low to indicate that the client allows connection without any
certificate verification.
• Set SecurityMode=Default to indicate that the client follows SecurityPolicy
settings to check certificate.
• Default value of the setting is Default. If the settings are factory default or if you
are upgrading to ThinOS 8.3 for the first time, the value is temporarily set to
None. After loading any INI, it goes to default.
• If the security mode value in WNOS.INI is not the same as the one saved in
Client NVRAM, client shows a reboot dialog box.
NOTE:
Security process includes:
1. Verification that certificate has a valid date
2. Verification that Issuer is valid and correct
3. Certificate verification passes
4. CN and SAN on the certificate matches the DNS naming
For Example: FileServer=https://10.151.122.66:444 SecurityMode=warning.
Username-Enc specifies the AES encrypted username of the file server.
Password-Enc specifies the AES encrypted password of the file server.
Use Windows Password_Gen tool to generate the encrypted string.
FormURL=URL to a file
Specifies the URL to the name of a bitmap file (.ico, .bmp, .jpg, or .gif), to be
displayed in the sign-on window, residing under the thin client home directory. The
length of the path, including the home directory and the file, is limited to 128
characters. If auto dial-up is enabled, this statement is invalid.
