Disabling Virtual Console Access

Rationale

The virtual consoles tty11 and tty12 allow the user to access a shell. Disabling these consoles makes it more difficult to execute commands or make unauthorized changes to the system.

Instructions

By default, the user can access the virtual consoles using the [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F11] and [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F12] key combinations. To disable this access:

1. In IGEL Setup, go to User Interface > Display Settings > Access Control.

2. Activate Disable Console Switching
   (Default: Console switching enabled).

3. Click Save.
