    NOTE

    The screen saver wait time must be set to a value higher than the XA LockTimeLimit value.

    When XA locks the workstation, the XA Privacy Shield will display and Windows will launch the configured screen saver over the top of the XA Privacy Shield.

    1. Configure the following XA Client Settings:
      1. Set the following registry to 1:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\eXpressAccess
        AutoStartScreenSavorOnTapOut=1
      2. Set Lock Workstation Timeout setting to desired setting.
        1. This value must be equal to or less than the amount of time set in the Screen Saver's Wait setting.
      3. Uncheck Enable auto-logoff.
