Example: Policy based recording

General

Policy based recording is the recommended way to use the VISULOX recording feature. Role based recording is possible with a variety of filters.

For this example setup two users have to be registered in VISULOX PORTAL with the following settings:

User	Role	eMail	SMS	Application	Other
Master	Supervisor	<supervisor>@company.com	-	VISULOX Cockpit	-
Miller	User	<user>@company.com	-	VLX Jump Shell	-

Supervisor Master enables and configures policy based recording.

User Miller logs into VISULOX PORTAL and starts the recorded application.

Supervisor Master creates a new Application Policy in "VLX Cockpit":
A unique name for the policy must be entered: "POL-APP".
To use the Application Policy "Enabled" has to be selected.
A comment for the policy can be entered as well.
Setting the filter:
Only the "VLX Jump Shell" application from user "Miller" will be recorded in this example.
It is also possible to set a filter for the Remote IP address or the Access point (not used in this example).
Enable recording:
"Recording" must be selected and a Welcome message can be entered. The session lifetime is set to 3 days in this example.
The script can be used to send a notification to the supervisor (not used in this example).
User Miller starts the "VLX Jump Shell" application from his Workspace
Once the application is started the "Recording by Policy" box is displayed, locking the application.
Miller can enter an annotation and must confirm the "Recording by Policy" box to work with the application.
If Miller rejects, the application will be closed.
