A standalone
policy editor for easily establishing administrative
control over all Screen Pass settings. For admins not
using Group Policy.
Expanded
implementation of the the Active Directory extended right "Screen
Pass unlock". Includes the ability to assign this right to
containers thereby making use of inheritance and making it
easier to define administrators for unlocking purposes
only. (The active directory extended right
is just one way to declare who can unlock who's workstation
using
Screen
Pass,
but with
version
5.1 it is more powerful.)
Control over
the pre-logon screensaver.
Improved
implementation of Autoshutdown, shutdown of the workstation
when no one is logged on.
Support for
international characters in Novell passwords.
Additonal
policies including Hide 'Screen Pass' tab, Disable 'Power'
button, and Disable screen saver "Settings" button.
