Setting the screensaver mode to blank-only conceals the contents of the display from passersby.
To ensure the screensaver is configured to be blank, run the following command: Note: This requirement assumes the use of the TOSS 5 default graphical user interface—the GNOME desktop environment. If the system does not have a graphical user interface installed, this requirement is not applicable. $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.screensaver picture-uri If properly configured, the output should be "''". To ensure that users cannot set the screensaver background, run the following: $ grep picture-uri /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/* If properly configured, the output should be "/org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/picture-uri". If it is not set or configured properly, this is a finding.
Edit the "dconf" settings in the /etc/dconf/db/* location. First, add or update the [org/gnome/desktop/screensaver] section of the "/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-security-settings" database file and add or update the following lines: [org/gnome/desktop/screensaver] picture-uri='' Add the following line to "/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/00-security-settings-lock" to prevent user modification: /org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/picture-uri Update the dconf system databases: $ sudo dconf update
