Start automatically
☑ The screenlock or screensaver starts automatically if there is no activity on the endpoint device within this time limit. The screen can be unlocked by the user or, if the Allow administrator password is not disabled, the administrator with the relevant password (see: Password - Restrict Access to IGEL OS Components). (Default)
Timeout: Period of time in minutes before the screenlock or the screensaver starts. (Default: 5)
Screenlock Password
None: No password is set. A screenlock cannot be set up.
User password: A user password is deployed to unlock the screen, see Password - Restrict Access to IGEL OS Components. If the user is logged in via Active Directory (AD), the AD credentials are used instead of the user password to unlock the screen.
Local user password: A separate password specified under Set is deployed to unlock the screen. This password is also used for Security > Logon > Local User > Login with local user password, see Local User.
If the user is logged in via Active Directory (AD), the AD credentials are used instead of the local user password to unlock the screen.
Different screenlock timeout
☑ You can specify a time limit of your own for the screenlock. (Default)
☐ The same time limit will be used for the screenlock as for the screensaver. This means that after the set time the screen will be locked and then the screensaver will appear.
Screenlock timeout: Period of time in minutes before the screenlock starts. (Default: 5)
Allow administrator password
☑ Access is allowed for the user and the administrator, see Password - Restrict Access to IGEL OS Components. (Default)
☐ Access is allowed for the user only.
Countdown duration in seconds: Countdown time with which the screenlock is initiated. If the value is 0, the screen is locked without a countdown. (Default: 0)
The appearance of the digits for the countdown is specified together with the settings for the clock display under Setup > User Interface > Screenlock / Screensaver > Screensaver; see Screensaver. The following parameters are relevant for the countdown:
Clock display monitor
Show seconds
Horizontal clock position
Vertical clock position
Clock background color
Clock foreground color
Countdown visual effect: While the countdown is running, a current screenshot is displayed in the background. This parameter determines the visual effect that the screenshot will be displayed with.
Possible options:
Dark screenshot
Gray screenshot
Countdown background image: Path and file name of an image file, which is displayed in the background while the countdown is running. This background image is displayed instead of the screenshot, if the path and file name are valid; if the field is empty, the screenshot is displayed. Supported file formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF. Example: /images/image.jpg
