User Does Not Have a XyLoc Key…
If a user does not have a XyLoc key assigned to them, or has a XyLoc key but this key has
not been configured as an authorized key on a particular PC, the user can still gain access to
the PC using the standard Ctrl+Alt+Del keystroke combination. This user will be bypassing
the XyLoc security and will login with their account. They will have whatever permissions
assigned to them network or PC. Administrators or Helpdesk staff mostly use this to allow
them access to a PC when they don’t have a XyLoc key. There is a registry setting available
to disable any non-XyLoc user from gaining access to a XyLoc protected PC, however this is
not recommended unless the centralized server (XSS) is available as this does restrict ALL
non-XyLoc users including Administrator. Contact Ensure Technologies Technical Support
for more details.
Unlocking using Password Override…
At unlock, either process can be used to get a dialog box to enter credentials in and either
method can be used. However, the user must use the same as was used at the initial login.
Once an account is logged into the PC, only that same account can unlock the PC using
Password Override.
