Endpoint Is Not Locked After Removal of Smart Card From the Smart Card Reader

Affected Products:

• Dell Security Management Server
• Dell Data Protection | Enterprise Edition v8.x
• Dell Data Protection | Security Tools v1.x

When the Dell Security Management Server (formerly Dell Data Protection | Enterprise Edition) policy that controls the action to be taken when the smart card is removed from the smart card reader is set to Lock the workstation, and the smart card is removed from the reader -  the endpoint should lock. However, if the same setting is configured in the Endpoint's Group Policy to leave the endpoint in an unlocked state, the endpoint does not lock when the smart card is removed.

Not Applicable

To resolve this issue, create a Group Policy Object that sets the action to lock the endpoint on smart card removal and deploy the policy to all smart card users.
