auto_config_schema.xml
The auto_config_schema.xml file describes the "schema" of a auto-config datasource.
You need to edit the schema file according to your auto-config datasource (Registry, INI- or XML-File).

The schema file is stored in "%PROGRAM_DIR%\auto_config\" - so you may need admin rights to edit it.

The CTI Client "Setup Generator" has a simple editor for the schema file. See CTI Client menu: [File > Create Setup > Dialog "Auto-Configuration"].
 
Examples for auto_config_schema.xml

 
Example 1:  Auto-config parameters are stored in a central XML file for all users.
Drive "N:" is a public network drive.
 
Example 1a: If usernames are invalid XML section names (name contains spaces or other special characters).
N:\cti_client\auto_config_data.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<auto_config>
 <Users>
  <User
   Name="Axel Müller"
   TAPI_LineName="PBX Line 200"
  />
  <User
   Name="Sanda Jensen"
   TAPI_LineName="PBX Line 201"
  />
 </Users>

 <Computers>
  <Computer
   Name="PC1"
   TAPI_LineName="PBX Line 203"
  />
  <Computer
   Name="PC2"
   TAPI_LineName="PBX Line 204"
  />
 </Computers>

Comments (valid for all examples):

 <Schema

 />
TAPI_LineName: This is the fix parameter name used inside of application.

TAPI_LineName: This is the parameter name inside your auto-config-datasource. Here you can choose an other name if you want. For example: UserTAPIDevice
If you want to run auto-config by computername, you can use the placeholder %COMPUTERNAME% in auto_config_schema.xml. Example:
SubPath="\auto_config\Computers\Computer?Name=%COMPUTERNAME%\"
 
Example 1b: If usernames are valid XML section names (name contains no spaces or other special characters).
