# Template Cofiguration for Shared Workstation

## TruU Smartcard Logon Template Recommendation

This configuration differs from the standard TruU passwordless smartcard logon template used for dedicated user devices.

For shared workstation deployments, TruU recommends using shorter certificate lifetimes to better align with user sessions and reduce credential persistence across multiple users.

This approach is specifically designed to:

* Support multi-user device scenarios
* Minimize authentication certificate reuse
* Reduce security risk on shared endpoints

The following template settings reflect TruU best practices for shared workstation environments.

1. In the **General** tab, specify the template validity and renewal period. TruU recommends:
   1. Validity Period: 12 hours
   2. Renewal Period: 0 hours
