Terminator Bypass

Terminator Bypass policies are security exceptions that allow specific user accounts on a device to be excluded from Keystrike's protection.

These policies enable the terminator on a device to remain in enforcement mode while permitting access for designated accounts that require entry without a Keystrike client.

Security exceptions should be minimized and reviewed regularly. It is recommended to set an expiration time for each bypass policy to ensure temporary access control.

Each policy applies to a single user account on a single device. The terminator username must be provided in a fully qualified format: domain\username , or device\username for local users.



Example: A server is running a terminator in enforcement mode, restricting access to users with a Keystrike client. If a vendor without a client needs temporary access, a security exception can be created e.g. for one hour to grant access.
