Lock Keychain?

[jman995x]

Hey,

I recently created a Sparse Disk Image that I've password protected.
When I try to open the Disk Image I get a popup window that has the words "Keychain Access" as the window title and the following text below that:

"To perform this action you must unlock the keychain
Please enter the keychain password."

Now, this is pretty straight forward (obviously).
My question is, how do I (once I've unlocked the keychain and opened the Disk Image) immediately lock the keychain again so that if I step away from my computer my keychain isn't still open?

Thanks,

jman995x

Within Keychain Access there's an option to have a menu bar item that lets you quickly un/lock keychains. I'm not at my Mac to give the exact location of the option though. There's also preferences for timing the keychain out so it locks automatically after a period of non-use.

The menu bar icon (it's in keychain prefs) gives you various options including lockscreen if you are leaving your computer for a time.
