PMP does not prompt for PIN on resume from sleep
PMP should prompt for PIN to be enter when it resumes from sleep as it does after the screen saver and reboot.
@LongChair does the host have a way of detecting that the system is going to sleep or waking up from sleep? I think we'll need a signal from the host that the web app will use to lock the screen.
@markus101 : i don't think we have anything like this in the PowerComponentso far.
As far as i see it, we have two options :
- Implement this with the OS specific mechnanism for OSX / win / Linux and add an interface to web client.
- Wok this around generically with checking the system time in some sort of timer. I guess detecting a big jump in system time would probably allow to detect that host has been sleeping for a while. it's a bit more hackish but would be cross platform :)
I think option one is the safest, most reliable way to accomplish this.
Option 2 has too many edge cases:
- Momentary sleep, but woken up before threshold
- A time change on the system (update from NTP after being out of sync for example) could lead it to be falsely locked
- Daylight savings time, might not be an issue, but DST can be a pain
