Desktop Automation Services is a downloadable add on to SecureLogin which allows for fast user switching within a desktop. This is a great add on and allows the user to be logged on and off from a workstation very quickly. Working with a smart card this becomes a very powerful story and is very easy to use. The cardmon command though is not well explained in the manual so to enable the user to be logged out from the workstation the following command should be used.

<on-cardmon action-name="logoff"/>

This should be inserted into the actions.xml file in the action trigger section as follows (this has been added to the example xml file supplied with DAS) :

<!-- action trigger section to define what happens on login, exit and hot-key combinations.  Ctrl-L provides quick logout call.  -->
	<action-triggers>
		<on-nds-login action-name="loggedin" tree="IDVAULT"/>
		<on-hot-key virtual-key="l" modifiers="ctrl" action-name="logoff"/>
		<on-hot-key virtual-key="k" modifiers="ctrl" action-name="calculator"/>
        <on-cardmon action-name="logoff"/>
	</action-triggers>
</application-runner-script>
