Web console specifics

The UserLock web interface allows operators to manage UserLock remotely through an Internet browser from any device: mobile, tablet or computer. It offers a way to enable a rapid response to inappropriate access and a better user experience when monitoring the network sessions activity.

Available features depend on the device from which the UserLock operator will connect to the Web console:

From a machine

The UserLock Web console features are pretty similar to the Windows console so we will only list the differences:

  • The 'Logon cleaner' menu is not available in the Web console.
  • The 'Scheduler' menu is not available in the Web console.
  • The Server 'Properties' menu is not available in the Web console.
  • The UserLock 'Reports' menu is not available in the Web console. Reports are directly displayed in HTML format.
  • Reports can't be exported from the Web console.
  • When you add a protected account you cannot browse Active Directory to retrieve accounts.
  • When you add 'Workstation restrictions' to a protected account you cannot browse Active Directory to retrieve computers.

From a tablet

The Web console displayed on a tablet device is very close to that available on a machine. Its display layout and ergonomics are adapted to the screen size of a tablet to get the best user experience possible.

  • Non-available features are the same as previously described when connecting to the UserLock Web console from a machine.
  • The 'Agent distribution' menu is not available in the Web console when connecting from a tablet device.
  • Some sections and reports are not available due to the tablet screen size.

From a mobile

Administering UserLock from a mobile using the Web console is designed for emergency situations. From a mobile, the UserLock Web console will offer operators the ability to display user sessions and machines, and to launch remote session and system actions:

  • Lock a session.
  • Logoff a session.
  • Reset a session (remove a session from UserLock application).
  • Send a pop-up.
  • Wake-up a machine.
  • Shut down a machine.
  • Restart a machine.
