 In this section, we will configure labtest to provide secure access to an eClass quiz.

+===== 1.  Allow Lab Machines To Access eClass In Labtest Mode =====
 First, you need to allow the lab machines limited access to eClass in labtest mode.

 You will need to limit the start and end time of your quiz in eClass.  If you don't do this, then students on the lab machines will be able to access your quiz **before** your labtest!  Go to: Activities >> Quizzes >> Settings >> Timing and configure the "Open the quiz" and "Close the quiz" times.  Note that if students try to access the quiz before the open time, they will be denied because eclass will try to redirect them back to the course eclass page which has been blocked.  They should try again at the start time of your test.
+===== 7. Lock Access to eClass Only (optional) =====
+If you want your students to only be able to access eClass, and no additional software on our systems (eg. Eclipse/VScode), then you will configure Labtest "lock" mode.
+If you're using Labtest Assistant, use the command: lock enable
+If you're not using Labtest Assistant, then touch the file called "lock" in your labtest directory:
+  % touch /eecs/dept/www/course/MYCOURSE/labtest/labtest1/lock
+  % chmod 644 /eecs/dept/www/course/MYCOURSE/labtest/labtest1/lock
