Kiosk Accounts
Workstation and network logins and logouts are often times several minutes in
duration. In a multi-user environment, this delay can be frustrating. Ensure
Technologies has developed a secure multi-user shared account feature that provides
both security and fast multi-user access. In many settings, you may want to set up a
single system account (Microsoft or Novell) for an entire class of users (for example,
a “Nurses” account in a hospital or a “Sixth Grade Math” account in a school). You
may easily set up such a “kiosk” account by adding multiple keys to the same
account. In this Kiosk account, all users share the same XyLoc preferences except for
Range
and
XyLoc Password
.
This enables the shared use of a single account, while still tracking individual users’
access of the account in the XyLoc activity logs. Switching among users is fast and
convenient.
NOTE: Support for Kiosk accounts in the XyLoc Solo package is limited to 5
users. The XSS-MD package is required for further support of Kiosk accounts.
Please review the XSS User Guide for more detail on creating Kiosk accounts in
that package.
