Locking the Thin Client

To help ensure that no one else can access your private information without permission,
Wyse ThinOS allows you to lock your thin client so that credentials are required to unlock
and use the thin client after you do one of the following:
•
•
•

Signing Off and Shutting Down

Use the Shutdown dialog box (Classic Desktop - click Shutdown in the Connect
Manager or Desktop Menu; Wyse Zero Desktop - click the Shutdown icon on the Wyse
Zero Toolbar) to select the available option you want.
Unplug a signed-on smart card - If an administrator has set SCRemovalBehavior=1
for the Signing parameter in the INI files and you unplug the smart card that you used
to sign on to the thin client, then the thin client will lock. To unlock the think client for
use, you must use the same smart card and your correct PIN. Note that removing a
signed-on smart card can also cause the thin client to log-off, if an administrator has
set the INI files to do so (in this case you must sign-on as usual to use the thin client).
Use LockTerminal from the Shortcut Menu and Shutdown dialog box - On the
Classic Desktop, click on the desktop and select Lock Terminal, or use the Shutdown
dialog box (see "Additional Classic Desktop Features"). On the Wyse Zero Desktop,
use the Shutdown dialog box (see "Signing Off and Shutting Down"). To open the thin
client for use, you must use your correct password.
Use the screen saver - If an administrator has set LockTerminal=2 for the
ScreenSaver parameter in the INI files and you use the screen saver, then the thin
client will lock. To open the thin client for use, you must use your correct password.
Tip
You can also configure automatic behavior after all desktop sessions are
closed by using the Remote Connections dialog box (see "Remote
Connections") or the AutoSignoff parameter in a wnos.ini file (see "Central
Configuration: Automating Updates and Configurations").
