Enhanced Password Protection Installation and Configuration Guide

Overview
C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection can be set up only for computers in
a domain, as documented in Chapter 2, “Creating Users and User Groups in a
Domain”. When C•CURE Enhanced Password Protection is implemented for
domain computers, the following two scenarios are possible, the first is the
usual one and the second is an exceptional case:
• All computers are in the domain—users on any computer in the domain,
once logged onto the computer, do not see the login screen when they
open the C•CURE 800/8000 Monitoring Station or Administration
application.
• A computer not in the domain connects to the network—the user tries to
open the C•CURE 800/8000 Monitoring Station or Administration
application and is denied access. The system displays a message such as
that shown in Figure 1-1 on page 1-4.

To secure the system even further, you can use the tools provided to lock idle
workstations—locking the screen while maintaining running applications in
the background.
This feature is similar to the screen saver mechanism built into the operating
system, except for the additional options and settings provided by C•CURE
Enhanced Password Protection that cannot be overridden by a user without
administrative privileges.
