About login INI

Passing parameters to Panel Browser (login INI)

You can define the parameters required for direct login in a INI file (hereafter referred to as "login INI") and then specify the file name from the shortcut that launches Panel Browser to specify and execute the direct login behavior.

 

The following explains how to start the program using the login INI.

 

 

attention

The login INI file is not included in the distribution files output by the client setup, so this file must be manually placed on each client PC that runs Panel Browser.

 

 

1.Create a login INI file.

 

The login INI is a text file. Please create it manually using a text editor such as Notepad. The file name can be anything. Here we will use "login.ini" as an example.

 

The parameters that can be specified in the login INI are as follows:
 

Parameters

explanation

PSNode

IP address to connect to Panel Server (IP address to connect to the main server in case of duplication)

PSNode2

IP address of the secondary server when Panel Server is duplicated

PSPanelPort

Port number for connection to Panel Server (port number for connection to the main server in case of duplication)

PSPanelPort2

Port number for connecting to the secondary server when Panel Server is duplicated

PSLoginUser

Login User Name

PSLoginPwd

Login Password

PSLoginProject

Public Project Name

PSLoginSavePwd

T: Save login password, F: Do not save

If this option is TRUE, the login password will be saved and available the next time it is displayed. (Default: T)

PSAutoLogin

T: Automatic login, F: Do not automatically login

If this option is TRUE, automatic login will be performed. Note that in order for automatic login to be performed, PSLoginProject / PSNode / PSNode2 / PSPanelPort / PSPanelPort2 must be set appropriately.

Regarding PSLoginUser / PSLoginPwd, if they are not set, the login screen will be displayed; however, by setting PSLoginSavePwd to T, the password entered on the screen at the first login will be stored internally, and the user will be logged in automatically from the next time onwards.

StartupApplicationTitle

You can specify the title string that will be displayed in the title bar of the login screen.

StartupTitle

You can specify the title string that will be displayed in the center of the login screen.

StartupMenu

Whether to display the menu icon in the upper right corner of the login screen.

T: Display, F: Do not display (default: T)

StartupUserList

Specify this if you want to display candidate user names. To specify multiple names, separate them with commas. The user names specified with this parameter will be displayed in the user selection combo box on the login screen.

 

example)

StartupUserList=admin,senior,operator,guest

 

StartupBrowserState

You can specify the browser display state when the login screen is displayed. The following can be specified.

MAXIMUM: Display maximum

FULLSCREEN: Display full screen

StartupVisualTheme

You can specify the visual theme of the login screen. The following can be specified.

WHITE/BLACK/GREEN/ORANGE/BROWN/GRAY (default: WHITE)

PSLoginComment

When directly logging in, you can specify any string as a comment for each login user. The string specified here can be referenced from the PSLoginComment root property of the client.

 

Below is an example definition.

PSLoginProject=project

PSNode=192.168.1.1

PSNode2=

PSPanelPort=6001

PSPanelPort2=

PSAutoLogin=T

PSLoginSavePwd=T

PSLoginUser=admin

StartupApplicationTitle=Login

StartupTitle=Login

StartupMenu=F

 

 

2.Create a shortcut

 

Create a Windows shortcut to run Panel Browser and specify the parameters of your login INI file after the pathname of the file to run.

 

To create a shortcut, right-click on an empty space on the desktop or in a folder in Explorer to display the menu and select "New - Shortcut".

 
ope_0025
 
 

In the Create Shortcut wizard, click the Browse button and select Panel Browser6.exe in the installation folder.
 
ope_0026
 
 

After the execution path of Panel Browser, specify the login INI file name in the /Login parameter. In this example, the file name is "login.ini".
 

Execution path of Panel Browser□/Login:login.ini
 

*"□" represents a half-width space.

 

Setting example)
ope_0029 

 

 

hint

The path name of the login INI file can be specified in one of the following ways:
 

•Specify using an absolute path.
 
This method writes the path name of the login INI file in the parameter specified for the link destination. The following is an example when the login.ini file is stored in the "C:\work" folder.

 

ope_0102

 

•Set the working folder for the shortcut.
 
With this method, specify only the login INI file name as the link destination parameter, and specify the folder in which the login INI file is stored as the shortcut's "working folder."
The following is an example when the login.ini file is stored in the "C:\work" folder.

 
ope_0028

 

 

 

Enter a name for the shortcut and click "Finish" to create the shortcut.
 
ope_0027
 

 

3.When the shortcut is launched, a direct login is performed according to the parameters specified in the login INI file.
