The ; at the start of the line turns it into a comment. It is used
in place of the # to show that this is a parameter can be turned on
by removing the ;, as opposed to the explanation text after the #.
You will run into this fairly often in config files.

You get a blank workgroup name because both the lines nameing the
workgroup are commented out, so you have not given the workgroup a name.
