INI files are employed as follows:
•
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.
parameters for all thin clients accessing the server.
•
$MAC.ini—This file is used for device-specific configuration. It is stored in the same directory as
the wlx.ini file. If the thin client locates this INI file on the server, the thin client uses the $MAC.ini
file for its configuration rather than the wlx.ini file. In this case, the thin client does not access the
wlx.ini file unless you specify the include=wlx.ini parameter in the $MAC.ini file.

file for its configuration rather than the wlx.ini file. In this case, the thin client does not access the
wlx.ini file unless you specify the include=wlx.ini parameter in the $MAC.ini file.
When a thin client is initialized, it accesses the global wlx.ini file (or $MAC.ini file, if present).

Cisco VXC 6215 Add-Ons
The Cisco VXC 6215 firmware includes default add-ons that provide increased security for the thin

The Cisco add-on applications that are bundled by default on the Cisco VXC 6215 include the following:
Autologin
The Autologin (autologin-1.0-2.sletc11sp1.rpm) add-on allows the Cisco VXC 6215 to boot with the
thin user credentials without requiring the user to provide the credentials.
thin user credentials without requiring the user to provide the credentials.
After the thin client boots up, the login screen initially appears, and after approximately 10 to 15
seconds, the thin client automatically logs the user into the thin client using thinuser/thinuser as the
default username and password.
seconds, the thin client automatically logs the user into the thin client using thinuser/thinuser as the
default username and password.
Caution
For proper operation of the Cisco VXC 6215, the Autologin add-on must always be enabled and running
on the thin client (the default configuration). Do not remove or disable the Autologin add-on as this is
an unsupported configuration. Operation with the Autologin add-on enabled is the only supported mode
of operation. If you do remove the Autologin add-on, you must reinstall it by reinstalling the latest Base
VDI Firmware Release available on cisco.com.

CiscoConfig
The CiscoConfig add-on (ciscoconfig-1.0-2.sletc11sp1.rpm) provides additional functionality to the
user beyond that provided by the Autologin add-on. With the CiscoConfig add-on, the Cisco VXC 6215
provides access to additional applications including system information, display settings, Cisco VXC
Manager settings, and the Firefox browser through the Application Browser (Computer > More
Applications).
