Description
A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not want to log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. The session lock is implemented at the point where session activity can be determined. This is typically at the operating system-level, but may be at the application-level. Rather than be forced to wait for a period of time to expire before the user session can be locked, applications need to provide users with the ability to manually invoke a session lock so users may secure their application should the need arise for them to temporarily vacate the immediate physical vicinity. Databases do not typically perform session locking activities. This requirement is NA for databases.
