how to set 5 mins auto-lock on mac

[Dalmatian]

Hi All

as i found the configuration profile including password session is not working any more on El Capitan. you can refer to my test [https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=17654]

Now i urgently need a way to deploy to all mac via a 5 mins auto -lock mac function.

Any one know how to enable auto lock via command line or other methods?

Are you using the Passcode payload in config profiles? We normally use a custom profile for this to set the askForPasswordDelay key in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist.
