What is that Broken Key on the Launch Pad for and what do those letters spell?

0

The Broken Key icon on the Launch Pad indicates that there is an active Kerberos Ticket for that client. In other words a user has entered their password and it is still active for all password protected activities. Clicking the Broken Key will run the Network Logout program and clear the Kerberos Ticket (password). Those letters spell Clear Password. This matters because if a user accesses Just the Facts to say, look at his grades and leaves the kiosk without clearing his password the next user can use that active ticket to look at the previous users grades, bursar bill, change their address, etc.
