Screen lockout after POA

sOuLs33k3r

Hi All,

I have a question regarding timeout policy/option of some sort. Basically what it is, when the user authenticates themselves at the POA screen, they are taken to the Windows login screen (CTRL+ALT+DEL), if the user chooses not to go through that stage and leave their laptop as it is, even after 30 minutes of total inactivity on that machine the user decides to come back and process normally.

Now mu question, is there some sort of an option or a policy setting in the SafeGuard Management Center that we can apply so that the laptops inhert that policy and if there is x minutes of inactivity, the user is forced to re-authenticate or something?

I can see there is an "Authentication" policy (Lock Options - Lock Screen after x minutes of inacitivty) which is believe locks the machine when they are already logged on to the Windows.

I hope this makes sense.

    Hi QC, many thanks for replying so quickly.

    No not at the POA level but at the Windows level where the user is prompted to press CTRL+ALT+DEL. We are using the single sign on process. The way how it works here is that the user is prompted for the POA screen where they enter the credentials with which the machine got enrolled on with (Active Directory credentials), it then takes the user to the Windows usual CTRL+ALT+DEL screen where when they press these keystorkes and after presseing just the "Ok" button, they are automatically logged on to the machine.
