Lock Screen Support

Lock Screen is a built-in macOS security feature that automatically secures the system during periods of inactivity.

Users can customize various aspects of this behavior, including activating the screen saver or turning off the display after user-defined timeout intervals. These settings are essential for maintaining security and protecting privacy.

Lock Screen is turned off by default as the design of VDA encourages continuity of rendering session traffic.

Now with this feature, we”™re providing these capabilities:

  • Screen saver can be activated, keyboard and mouse can exit screen saver
  • Password authentication after returning from screen saver

Feature toggle a policy named “AllowWindowsScreenLock” to turn on/off. The default value for this policy is “Disabled”.

Limitations

  • Display off is not supported; we instead use display off timeout values to trigger the screen saver.
  • Changes to system Lock Screen settings require a session disconnect and reconnect to take effect.
