Vinzenz Feenstra has submitted this change and it was merged. Change subject: win32: Do not attempt to login when the desktop is unlocked ...................................................................... win32: Do not attempt to login when the desktop is unlocked When the desktop is unlocked we should not try to login because we're calling the 'Secure Attention Sequence' which will open the fullscreen window with the options to lock the screen, change password etc. This is a disturbing side effect that should be avoided. After searching for the best possible solution I came to the conclusion that the solution introduced in this patch is good enough, even though it won't work right after starting the agent. It will start working after the first login or unlock of the screen. That means also that this functionality won't be working after a restart of the service, since the agent won't be aware of the fact that it has been only restarted. I also can't say by default that the screen is unlocked, because that would break the SSO on startup and other cases. Therefore I assumed this as the currently 'good enough solution' as this is also a niche problem because for this feature to be useful the option to take no action on console disconnect has to be active in the ovirt-engine. The default is the lock screen behavior which will intiate the locking of the screen in case of a disconnect of the console.
