Activity Tab
The Activity Tab in GateKeeper shows all currrent user activity occurring in WinGate.
- To administer WinGate with GateKeeper, you must be logged in, therefore the Administrator entry in the activity window is you.
- Your network computer name is listed, and branches below are your username and (in brackets) your security status.
Below that is the session you have open with WinGate. The session is a WinGate Login session.
GateKeeper uses this session for communicating with WinGate. The text to the right shows what command was executed last by that session.
- Right-click on your name on the activity panel to get a Action Administration menu.

- You will notice in the screenshot that the Administrator’s last action was to register for everything, this means logging in.
- Sessions in the activity pane are displayed dynamically, as they occur. Therefore, when they stop, they will disappear from the screen.
Clicking on the History Tab (or from the History shortcut in the View menu on the tool bar) will display all WinGate sessions that have occurred during the current logon. View the log files if you want more details on the sessions that have terminated.
Current sessions are shown in realtime either by machine, or by service (selected by right clicking on a current session in the Activity screen and selecting the View by machine/service option).
Anyone with activity delete rights (e.g. Administrators) can delete any session on the activity screen.
- Data Sessions
- Any data session can be terminated. This will not affect any other activity for that user. This is useful if a session has hung, or you do not like what the user is doing. Remote Control Login If this is terminated, the user will lose their authenticated state, and revert to an assumed user (if they still have any other sessions open or there is a location mapping for them), or Guest.
- User Entries
- Deleting a user entry will cause all the sessions of the associated IP address to be terminated, and they will disappear from the activity screen. If their computer keeps requesting access, they will reappear as a guest or an assumed user.
