New system variables for ethernet and wireless MAC addresses
Two new INI parameters are supported to use the variables $EMAC.ini and $WMAC.ini, to check if the appropriate <mac_id>.ini
files are loaded. You can add the $EMAC.ini/$WMAC.INI in the INI file which is placed in the relevant <mac_id>.ini files. The
https location of these INI files is /inc/folder.
Supports secure RDP
The default behavior should not allow connection to server when ThinOS RDP client failed to verify server certificate. If user INI
is set to securitymode=high then user will not be able to connect to RDP VM. If user INI is set to securitymode=Warning then
user will get the security pop up but will be able to connect to RDP. If user ini is set to securitymode=Low then user will not get
any security pop up and will be able to connect to RDP.
