5.3 Unlocking the Workstation

With the addition of NMAS to a user's workstation, the process to unlock Windows workstations changes. Normally, users can enable password protection for their workstations by using a screen saver configured from the Windows Display control panel. To unlock a workstation with NMAS, users must instead go through the same authentication process used to originally log in.

For example, if you used NMAS to authenticate to the network and you used a biometric login method, you must use the same biometric login method again to unlock and use the workstation.

If you are using a Windows workstation, you must unlock the workstation using the login method that was used to log into the tree. If you have connections to multiple eDirectory trees, the login sequence for any eDirectory tree can be used. The default is the first eDirectory tree.
