Labels on Trusted Extensions Desktops

As discussed in Mandatory Access Control, all applications and files in Trusted Extensions have labels. Trusted Extensions displays labels in the following locations:

• Window label stripes above the window title bar

• Window icon label stripes under the minimized window

• Window label indicator in the trusted stripe

• Query window label indicator from the Trusted Path menu that displays the label of the window or icon that is specified by the pointer location

Figure 4–1 shows how labels display on a system that is configured to display labels. The system is using Trusted CDE as its desktop. A site can also be configured to hide labels. Even if your administrator has configured the system to hide labels, labeling is still in effect. The Query Window Label menu item can be used to display the label of a window. For an illustration, see Figure 3–4.
