ScreenSaver login Window MacOS 15

[tdenton]

Anyone know if the ablity to set a screensaver at login windows is still broken in Sequoia. I belive its still the case in Sonoma.

Im currently using this at works fine if a user is logged in locks the screen screensaver starts. The research I have done so far seems to indicate loginidealtime should trigger it at login screen, just doesnt seem to do anything. Have been playing around with a lower number that doesnt seem to help either.

It something we always struggled to set in our labs, we adjusted our power policy last time so the macs would sleep.

	<key>loginWindowIdleTime</key>
	<integer>1800</integer>
	<key>moduleName</key>

</plist>

As anyone managed to make this work in lab based scenario?

Hi, @tdenton...

try this one below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<string>/System/Library/ExtensionKit/Extensions/Flurry.appex</string>
<key>loginWindowIdleTime</key>

@evandroeg nothing happened wasn't sure if the timing was to long.
So I reduce it 300 seconds (5 min) for loginwindowIdealTime and idletime still has'nt kick in.

Any suggestion of anything else I can try? or will just need to carry on using my power policy.
Is there anyway to check the settings are applying?
Is this been written to screensaver plist com.apple.screensaver.plist
As there doesnt seem to be one in library > preferences

Thanks
