19.2 Local Policy Editor

The Local Policy Editor provides an easy way to edit the Local policy. To access the Editor, click Start > Programs > Novell SecureLogin > Secure Workstation Policy Editor.

Figure 19-1 Local Policy Editor

By default the Local policy is inactive, and most of the controls on the dialog box are inactive. To activate the Local policy (and all of the controls on the dialog box), select Activate Local Workstation Policy.

The Secure Workstation policy enables you to specify the lock events that Secure Workstation should watch for, and what action should be taken when an event occurs. The Events list box displays a list of lock events.

You can edit settings for a specific event by selecting the event in the list box and clicking Edit Event. A dialog box is displayed with settings for the event you select.

Figure 19-2 The Edit Event Settings

Secure Workstation ignores the event unless the Active check box is selected.

For each event, you can select from the following list of options:

Figure 19-3 The Lock Actions

The Default Action list contains the following items:

The Action for Terminal Services Clients list contains the following items

When a lock event is triggered, Secure Workstation performs the action associated with that event. Secure Workstation uses the default action on local workstations and the action for Terminal Services Clients for remote user sessions on remote workstations that are using either Citrix or Windows Terminal Services. Secure Workstation refers to these as “remote sessions”.

NOTE:If you are running the Local Policy Editor on a Terminal Server, the policy editor shows the Effective policy for the session that it is running in.
