VISULOX user sandbox (vlxjail)
vlxshell is used as a framework to different clients (Firefox, ICA, RDesktop, freeRDP).
Depending on the client, the vlxtransit directory is provided. (Firefox as the default download directory, RDP or ICA drive redirection).
Applications can be adjusted to restrict the access of the users within the startet application.
The user is able to see only his own processes and files, but he can still start all applications.
Therefore vlxjail has to be used instead of vlxshell.
For example: VLX Jump Shell - the Application Command vlxshell must be changed to vlxjail.
Functionality with other / different clients or shells, if the system deviates from the standard cannot be guaranteed.
In case of issues contact the VISULOX Support Team.
