How to control the VISULOX Cockpit
Controlling the VISULOX Cockpit
The VISULOX Cockpit is provided as a resumable and uncontrolled application as default.
This means, vlxMode=NOSC is set and the usage of the Cockpit cannot be restricted by an Access or Application Policy.
In general a recording of the Cockpit is not needed or does not make sense.
In contrast the access to the the Cockpit has to be under control, based on the Company's Security Rules, i.e. usage in Dual Control mode, usage from a dedicated remote IP or over a dedicated access point.
To achieve this, the VISULOX Cockpit has to be enabled for session control.
Remove vlxMode=NOSC from the application in the datastore.
Now all Access and Application Policies will be applied.

Starting VISULOX Cockpit with parameter -grant
All changes done in the Cockpit will be registered under the name of the user, who has started the Cockpit session.
If it is wanted, that certain changes are registered under another name (e.g. Supervisor, System, etc), this can be done with the -grant parameter in the "Arguments for Command" field of the application definition:
This vlxgui parameter will override all created_by and updated_by entries.
