Tip
A fast way to create a Configuration Profile together with a Policy is to use the One Click Policy Creation.
¶ Configuration Set
A configuration set is a group of configuration parameters (network, user interface, security, connection, etc.) of a Thin Client.
In order to create a configuration set, you need to create a template. For more information about templates read Contextual Menu - Configurations - Save as Template.
A configuration set is part of a Configuration Profile for Device. Depending on how it has been created, a configuration set can be applicable to devices belonging to a certain family or to a certain model:
- Configuration Set (for Family): right after you create a configuration profile for device, it will be asked to add a configuration set. In this case, the configuration set will be applicable to all the devices belonging to the same family. You can also right click on a configuration profile for device and select the option Add Configuration Set (see image below)
- Configuration Set for Model (restricted): right click on a configuration profile for device and select the option Add Configuration Set for Model. In this case, the configuration set will be applicable to all the devices belonging to the same model.
¶ Configuration Profile for Device
A configuration profile for device contains one or more Configuration Sets. E.g. one for Agile devices and another for ThinOX devices.
¶ Creating a Configuration Profile for Devices
To create a Configuration Profile for Device right-click on Configuration Profiles in the Profile Manager tree and select Add Configuration Profile for Devices... .
Enter the new profile name and optionally add a description to complete the details. Click on Finish to finalize the operation.
Once the profile is created, you will be asked to add a Configuration Set. Click on Yes to confirm (otherwise, you can create it later by selecting the options explain on the configuration set section)
A window with a list of template files will be open, select the template file you want to apply for the configuration set. Click on OK. The configuration set will contain all the value parameters specify on the selected template.
The new window will indicate the name of the configuration set and a description of the configuration set of the imported Template. These values can be changed, they are only a reminder of the template used to create the configuration set.
Click on Next to continue.
The template is not linked to the configuration set
When creating a configuration set from a template will copy the content of the template into the database. The configuration set is not a link to the template file. If you overwrite the template, the profile will not change.
The last window will report Thin Client model, the firmware version and the device family of the imported template.
From this window it is possible to change the Configuration Set directly by clicking on:
- Certification Manager: to edit certificates on the thin client (for more information see How to Import Certificates files into a ThinOX configuration (offline, template or profile configuration)).
- Configuration Settings: to change configuration parameters
- Connection Manager to change the Configuration Set.
Click on Finish to create the Configuration Profile for Device.
If the operation is successful a new Configuration Profile for Device is created in the tree of Configuration Profiles. You can view Profile Name, Type and Description on the right panel of the console user interface.
By selecting the created Configuration Profile for Device and clicking on the "+" besides the name, the Configuration Set will be shown and all the related info.
