SELECTIVE DESKTOP CONTROL OF VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS (VPN'S) IN A MULTIUSER ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Techniques for selective desktop control of virtual private networks (VPN's) in a multiuser environment are provided. A multiuser desktop/workstation includes a first user that establishes a VPN session on the desktop for accessing protected resources. Other users are permitted to simultaneously access non-protected resources of the desktop during the VPN session. Other users are also permitted to log into the desktop during the VPN session. However, if the other users attempt to access the protected resources, the access attempts are denied.
