When you disconnect a Sun Ray Client session, the client stops displaying the user's desktop and requires authentication to re-access the session again in most situations. Disconnecting a session is important for security reasons when you have to leave a client unattended.
When using smart cards, the session disconnects when you remove the smart card from the client. For NSCM and RHA sessions, you can disconnect a client session through any of the following methods:
(Oracle Solaris only) Lock the desktop through the current desktop manager. For example, in the Java Desktop System, choose Launch->Lock Screen. Locking the desktop forces the session to disconnect. A disconnect will also occur if the desktop screen lock idle time interval is exceeded.
Locking an Oracle Linux desktop locks only the desktop and does not disconnect the session. If a new user wants needs to use the Sun Ray Client where the desktop is locked, the user must reset the client to disconnect the session and make the client available for use. So, for Oracle Linux deskops, using the utdetach command is recommended.
Use the utdetach command:
% /opt/SUNWut/bin/utdetach
Press Shift-Pause.
To change the disconnect hot key combination, see Section 13.2, “Sun Ray Client Hot Keys”.
The hot key combination does not work with a full-screen Windows session.
Connect to your session through another client, either by inserting your smart card and authenticating to RHA or by logging in through NSCM.
