eLux Usage
Login Manager
When an eLux device is configured to use Imprivata as the authentication backend, the Login Manager displays the Imprivata logo after startup.
If a supported card reader is connected, the interface will present a Proximity Card field, indicating that Tap & Go authentication is available.
The specific login methods offered to the user depend on the configuration defined in the Imprivata backend and may include:
-
Username and Password
-
Proximity Card with Password
-
Proximity Card with PIN
-
Proximity Card only
Lock Screen
An eLux device can be locked securely using different methods, depending on the system configuration:
-
Card tap – Quickly lock the system by tapping the proximity card.
-
Start Menu – Select Lock from the eLux Start Menu.
-
Keyboard shortcut – Use the configured key combination.
-
Inactivity timeout – The device locks automatically after a defined period of no user interaction.
Once the lock screen is active:
-
The currently signed-in user can unlock the session using one of the configured authentication methods.
-
Alternatively, another user may log in, which will end the active session of the first user.
