If the end-user selects File/Exit or Close from the applications menu bar, the menu is
cleared and nothing else happens; the application remains active. Nothing happens
when the end-user clicks on the Close icon on the application's title bar and the appli-
cation remains active.
Note: A few applications do not follow normal procedures when closing. AppLock cannot
prevent this type of application from closing, but is notified that the application has
closed. For these applications, AppLock immediately restarts the application which
causes the screen to flicker. If this type of application is being locked, the administrator
should close all other applications before switching to end user mode to minimize the
screen flicker.
Windows accelerator keys such as Alt-F4 are disabled.
Passwords
A password must be configured. If the password is not configured, a new device
switches into Administration mode without prompting for a password. In addition to the
hotkey press, a mode switch occurs if inaccurate information has been configured or if
mandatory information is missing in the configuration.
There are several situations that display a password prompt after a password has been
configured.
If the configured hotkey is pressed, the password prompt is displayed. In this case the
user has 30 seconds to enter a password. If a valid password is not entered within 30
seconds, the password prompt is dismissed and the device returns to end-user mode.
All other situations that present the password prompt do not dismiss the prompt -- this
is because the other situations result in invalid end-user operation.
These conditions include:
•
•
•
•
To summarize, if an error occurs that prevents AppLock from switching to user mode,
the password will not timeout and AppLock will wait until the correct password is
entered.
