Bummer! (Sorry, couldn't resist).
But, there is a blood test (PSA) that will do the same thing).
In the last company I worked for, I convinced the powers that be to elongate
the time-out for users, enforce them all to go through supersession (or
whatever it's called, now), and have a 10-minute time out on supersession ---
without logging them off.
Some were still on real 3270's, so a screensaver password wasn't an option.
This was more to save resource costs due to multiple logins, which appealed to
the capacity analyst in me.
But, it was more convenient (aka faster) for the users.
The lock function under supersession had been disabled at the request of one
department.
And, this same department slowed down the implementation.
Quess which department.
Give me an 'A'!
Give me a 'U'!
(You get the picture)
It was a case of they'd never heard, or thought of it, so it couldn't be a
standard practice.
