v-GO Session Manager

In many industries, such as hospitals and manufacturing shop floors, kiosks are widely deployed because they provide users with quick and convenient access to applications throughout an organization. But too often users walk away from the kiosk without logging off, potentially exposing sensitive data to the wrong set of eyes and posing a serious security risk.

v-GO® Session Manager addresses this security threat head on by automatically terminating inactive sessions and shutting down applications after a specified period of time.

How It Works

A v-GO Session Manager-enabled kiosk knows who is using the kiosk at any given time by prompting each user to log in to an LDAP directory, such as Active Directory. This logon is much faster than a traditional Windows domain logon. v-GO Single Sign-On recognizes the user's LDAP identity and uses it to retrieve that user's credentials, application definitions and settings.

All subsequent single sign-on activity (e.g., logons, password changes) takes place automatically based upon user action. The user can quickly log out of the kiosk when the work is finished. If the user doesn't log out, v-GO Session Manager detects that the session is inactive and automatically suspends the session. If the user doesn't return or a new user wants to use the kiosk, v-GO Session Manager automatically shuts down the original session and gracefully shuts down any open applications.
