Lock Options Available on GateKeeper.
GateKeeper Proximity locks in one of three ways:
1) when the user leaves the area of the computer (proximity),
2) when the user clicks the lock button on the side of the token (button lock), or
3) due to lack of keyboard/mouse activity (inactivity).
Admins can control what happens when GateKeeper locks. All computers in the same Group will be subject to the same configurations for lock setting.
Walk out of RangeSimply walk away from the computer with your token. The computer will determine that you are leaving and automatically lock when you're far enough away. For more information on how GateKeeper's proximity engine decides to lock, click here. |

Press the Lock ButtonOn the side of the GateKeeper token is a button that locks the computer instantly when pressed. On the phone, there is also a lock button on the app. |
|
Inactivity TimeoutThis feature helps to ensure that computers lock even if users accidentally leave their tokens at their workstation and leave. The computer will lock after the inactivity timeout period selected by the admin. |
Below are the options for what action to take when locking the computer along with their explanations:
Set on Client computer: |
Allows end-users to choose the settings on the Client application on their own computers. |
Disable: |
Turns off the feature. Not recommended. |
