Enable GNOME3 Screensaver Lock After Idle Period

An XCCDF Rule

Description

To activate locking of the screensaver in the GNOME3 desktop when it is activated, run the following command to configure the SUSE operating system to allow the user to lock the GUI:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false

Validate that disable-lock-screen has been set to false with the command:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen

Rationale

A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not want to logout because of the temporary nature of the absense.
