Configuring Client UI passwords
The Client UI policy is where you create the password required to unlock the client UI if it
appears on a Windows client or to access troubleshooting control on Windows and non-Windows
clients. When this policy is applied to the client, the password is activated.
Two types of passwords are available:
• An administrator password, which an administrator can configure and is valid as long as the
policy is applied to the client. The client UI remains unlocked until it is closed. To reopen
the client UI, reenter the administrator password.
• A time-based password, which has an expiration date and time. This password is automatically
generated. In addition, you have the option of disabling this password by deselecting the
checkbox and applying the policy. The client UI remains unlocked, even if closed, as long
as the time-based password is valid.
NOTE: Policies are NOT enforced on the client when the client UI is unlocked.
For details on using a password to unlock the Client UI, see Unlocking the Windows client
interface.
Use this task to create the two types of passwords.
