Lock Your Workstation on Smart Card Removal
To increase the security of your computer and its contents, lock your computer when you are away from it and keep your smart card safely.
-
Microsoft Windows is configured to lock the workstation on smart card removal (default setting).
-
The ActivClient policy, Unattended smart card alert, is configured to activate at either log off or both log off and screen lock (by default, it is configured for the latter option).
To lock your workstation, simply remove your smart card from the smart card reader.
Smart Card Unattended Notification
If you forget to remove your smart card when you log off, or when you lock your workstation, ActivClient triggers an audio notification to remind you that you should remove your smart card from the reader.
For further information, see Unattended Smart Card Alert.
