Screen Lock Settings

You can lock the terminal screen while you are away from the PC to protect your session from unwanted use. When the terminal is locked, the terminal screen changes to a grey and users cannot interact with terminal until the correct password is received. Once the screen is locked, you cannot pass any data to the terminal. Xshell cannot be closed until the correct password is received. However, connections will stay open and data will be still updated in the terminal.
