This facility helps to ensure the security of your personal cabinet environment. You can leave your logged-on terminal unattended for some time without the risk of an unauthorized person viewing the contents of your cabinet.
Caution:
It is only possible to completely lock your terminal, if there are
no "escape from session" functions assigned in the TP-monitor.
This document covers the following topics:
To lock your terminal, issue the following command sequence from any point in Con-nect:
LOCK password password
In this case, the password can be any word you choose (it need not be the password you use when logging on to Con-nect) and you lock your terminal by entering the password and its confirmation in one step.
However, if you prefer that the password remains invisible as you type it, you must issue the LOCK command - without the password and its confirmation - in the command line and press ENTER. You must enter the password in the command line of the next screen and press ENTER. You must confirm the password by entering it a second time and pressing ENTER. The password will not appear in the screen as you type it.
If an unauthorized person attempts to use your terminal while you are absent, Con-nect will not react.
Unlock your terminal by entering the password once more in the command line and pressing ENTER.
As a result, you are returned to the point at which you locked the terminal and you can resume your work.
Tip:
Although there is no upper time limit for the LOCK command, you should
log off if you leave your terminal for a long period of time.
