Windows Systems
In many environments, users run the application on a Windows system; for example, character sessions using a terminal emulator, or the .NET UI. You can establish work procedures that require users to set up their machines to display a screen saver after a specified number of minutes and enter their Windows password—preferably not the same one used for the application sign in—to turn off the screen saver.
For details, refer to your Windows system documentation.
Note: Depending on the operating system and version running on your Windows computers, as well as the way users are set up, the system administrator may be able to configure all machines in this manner and prevent individual users from changing the settings. Refer to your operating system documentation for details.
Non-Windows Systems
Many standard UNIX machines—including those provided by HP, Sun, and IBM, which use the Common Desktop Environment (CDE)—offer screen-locking features much like those in Windows. Set up CDE-based machines using the Style Manager icon on the Front Panel. Similar features are also available for some LINUX environments. See the user documentation for your machine for details.
