NetControl

This section controls the behavior of the net control component. This component tries to keep track of SSL/TLS sessions in different web browsers and close those web browsers when a smart card is removed.

This feature is getting harder to accomplish, since web browsers are getting better at recovering closed sessions. A better solution is close from server side, using the Watch component.

Applications

This entry specifies a list of applications, separated with ;, that may be closed if they open a SSL session.

Applications=iexplore.exe;firefox.exe

Default value is none; no applications will be handled.

Ask

This entry specifies whether the user should be asked before trying to close an application.

0: Don’t ask user before close
1: Ask user before close

Default value is 1; ask user before close of application.

Enable

This entry specifies whether this feature should be active.

0: Net control inactive
1: Net control active

Default value is 0; net control is inactive.

LogonApplication

This entry specifies a list of logon applications, separated with ;, that may be closed if they open a TLS session.

LogonApplication=iexplore.exe;firefox.exe

Default value is none; no logon applications will be handled.
