4.2.8 Remote Management

All guidelines for Remote Management are concerned with the configuration settings for
performance and security.

Security
To prevent unauthorized access to the managed device, the Remote Management service on the
managed device uses the following modes of access:
"Rights-Based Remote Management Authentication" on page 66
"Password-Based Remote Management Authentication" on page 67
Rights-Based Remote Management Authentication
In rights-based authentication, rights are assigned to the remote operator to launch a remote session
on the managed device. By default, ZENworks administrators have rights to perform remote
operations on all the managed devices regardless of whether the local user or the ZENworks user is
logged in to the device.
The remote operator does not need any exclusive rights to perform a remote session on the managed
device if no user has logged in to the managed device or if a user has logged in to the managed
device but not in to ZENworks. However, the remote operator needs exclusive Remote Management
rights to perform the remote operation on the managed device when a ZENworks user has logged in
to the device. We strongly recommend using the rights-based authentication because it is safe and
secure.
