    Hello all,
    So I’m kind of new to the Wyse environment but have been asked to check if it is possible to disable the CTRL+ESC functionality at boot (ThinOS) or if it is possible to password protect it.

    The reason why is that it is possible to enter into Admin Mode without having to enter the credentials.
    Hope some of you out there can help me.
    Some data :
    – Wyse 5010
    – ThinOS 8.6_019

    How do you configure your clients?
    Disabling isn’t possible. However, preventing users from getting access to the system can be done.

    Thank you for the very fast reply.

    Not sure what you mean with your question.
    We use a combination of WMS policies and $MAC.ini to configure them.

    OK, then go to the local client, open System Tools – wms.ini and post it here along with your mac.ini

    Hello,

    Thank you and sorry for the delay.

    Below you can find the wms.ini , I didn’t post the mac.ini, because we don’t really use that one except for specific network or video configurations (special resolutions, etc…).

    Hope you’ll be able to help.

    Open your WMS policy and go to Security. You should see that your Privilege level is set to “Low”.
    Enable the next checkbox “Allow lockdown”.
    This should fix your issue.

    Thank you.

    Is this checkbox only available in 1.4  or maybe only in Pro-license ? Because I don’t see it in mine ?

    Could be 1.4.
    If you are not willing to update to 1.4 you can also add
    Privilege=low Lockdown=yes
    to the Advanced section.

    Thank you, Thomas.

    This does indeed seem to do the trick. We’re looking into upgrading to 1.4, but have to test it first.

    PS: I tried to log in to the website several times yesterday (throughout the day) but got an 503-error, server unavailable.

    In the mean time, I can confirm that the lockdown checkbox is only available in WMS v1.4 , not in v1.3.

    Thank you.
