Auto Logout configuration profile not working ?????

[tcandela]

running iMacs with 10.11.5 , and JSS is 9.81.

created a configuration profile to auto logout users after 10 minutes of inactivity and after 12 minutes to do a screen saver. Using just the Login Window payload

I login and set a timer for 10 minutes and I wait and see, not touching any part of the computer so there is clearly no activity happening. When 10 minutes passes no user is logged out.

anybody also having autologout not working?

the 12 minute screen saver works but not the 10 minute auto logout.

gonna try 12 minute auto logout, 15 minute screen saver

I tested on 9.91 and auto logout works fine with El Capitan. Need these people to upgrade from 9.81

@tcandela Did you do anything different?
Trying this on 10.11.6 and I can't seem to make it work at all.
Tried a 2 minute logout with no effect.

Also, I saw in some of the other forums to look at the idle time reported by ioreg and HIDSystem. I don't know if this has changed in 10.11 and 10.12 but when I run the given commands, I keep getting a stream of slightly increasing numbers. It never bounces back to 0.

@tcandela @jrippy I also have this issue with JSS 9.91 (yes I DO need to upgrade), OS X 10.11.6.
It works on some devices, but not on others.

@jrippy ; the HIDSystem doesn't appear to recognise remote keyboard/mouse - it looks solely at hardware input. Were you testing remotely? I haven't found a solid way to check if the device is actually idle. I'm thinking that it could be interrupted through some process rather than just HID.

Any ideas?
