Optionally Set a Lock Mode to Secure the Host Server Desktop

Language:

Oracle ILOM provides the option to lock the host server desktop whenever a remote KVMS session disconnects. This feature ensures that if a KVMS session user closes the session prior to logging out of the host server desktop, subsequent KVMS session users will be prompted to enter their user credentials to gain access to the system.

For a description of lock mode options, as well as instructions for configuring the lock mode in Oracle ILOM, see the folllowing information:
