Abstract
A method for changing the status, locked or unlocked, of a target machine including a security service and a session management module includes receiving, by the security service, a query corresponding to a request to change the status of the target machine, the query including at least one piece of identification information from a user of a source machine; from the security service, verifying if access rights to the target machine related to the user of the source machine allow a change in the status of the target machine by the user; if so, sending, from the security service, a status change message to the session management module of the target machine and proceeding to the status change made by the session management module.
