Libki Client Installation - Windows

  1. Download and Install Gnope ( http://gnope.org/ )
  2. Extract the Libki Client source code into C:\Program Files.
  3. Copy the file C:\Program Files\Libki-Client-0.x\libki.ini to C:\etc\libki\libki.ini, and edit the file to fill in the correct details. You may need to create the folder c:\etc\libki.
  4. Create a shortcut for the file KioskClient.php called Libki somewhere, for example C:\libki\Libki.lnk ( all Windows shortcuts end with .LNK, but it is hidden ).
  5. Using the registry editor, edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and add a new string named Libki with a value of the path to the Libki.lnk file. ( This technique is much better than using the startup folder, as it executes almost immediately after the login ).

Optional: Install a keylocker script.

These scripts disable commands that circumvent Libki. There are four, each one is slightly different to better suit individual needs. These scripts were generated using AutoHotKey ( http://www.autohotkey.com/ ), each one includes the original .ahk source, and a compiled binary.

  • libki-keylock - Disables alt-tab, ctrl-alt-del, and many other commands that can be used to gain unauthorised access. With this version the key combo ctrl-alt-shift-L will pop up a password dialog that can disable the script. The password is contained in the file C:\etc\libki\keylock.
  • libki-keylock-nopwd - The same script without the password unlock feature.
  • libki-keylock-startbutton - The same as libki-keylock, but this version also disables the start button, so only shortcuts on the desktop can be used to launch programs.
  • libki-keylock-startbutton-nopwd - The same as above, but without the password unlock feature.

The script create_password.ahk is used to generate the password file that is then stored on C:\etc\libki\keylock. Install AutoHotKey on a computer to generate the keylock file, then copy it to each client.

To install, follow steps 4 & 5 above, but for the keylock exe file instead of the KioskClient.phpw file.
