Simply use SmartCard for the lockout restriction to meet HIPPA requirements... __________________________________________________________ Marc-André Lapierre Consultant Systems & Infrastructures 514 977-6170 Email : malapierre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Henry Sieff [mailto:hsieff@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 20 septembre, 2004 10:09 To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Citrix Deployments in Healthcare We run a custom-made clinic management package via citrix. HIPPA creates some issues; you are supposed to enforce some sort of lockout for when an operator leaves a station in a public area unattended to prevent access. HOwever, if you establish a policy which requires operators to lock their workstations, and some method for auditing this, you can probably use pretty long session idle timeouts (8 hours is what I use). Disconnect timeouts for me are mostly a housekeeping issue; I set them in at 15 minutes, with overrides for some users who do large bulk processes.
