disconnect_client

SmartDashboard can connect to a Security Management Server using one of these modes:

• Read/Write - Administrators have full permissions to create or change all objects, settings and policies.
• Read Only - Administrators can see all objects, settings and policies, but cannot add, change or delete them.

Only one administrator can use SmartDashboard to connect to a Security Management Server in the read/write mode at one time. When an administrator connects in the Read/Write mode, this prevents other administrators from doing these actions:

• Connecting to the same management in the read/write mode
• Creating or changing objects, settings and policies
• Backing up the management server database
• Installing a Security Policy

You can use a special command line utility to disconnect a different SmartDashboard client that is open in the Read/Write mode.

To remove the database lock, run disconnect_client from the Security Management Server command line.
