We recommend you to use SSL for communication between the ZENworks Handheld Management
Access Point and the Handheld devices because SSL provides the following primary security
services:
Message Privacy: All transmissions after the initial handshake between the ZENworks
Handheld Management Access Point and the Handheld device are encrypted.
Session Integrity: A secure channel is opened between the ZENworks Handheld Management
Access Point and the Handheld device.
Mutual Authentication: The ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point and the
Handheld device can establish their authenticity.
To configure SSL and HTTP communication between the ZENworks Handheld Management
Access Point and the Handheld devices:
1 During installation, if you have selected the Configure Access Point HTTP and SSL settings
option, the Configure IP - ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point dialog box is
displayed.
2 Obtain a server certificate before using SSL.
NOTE: Palm devices do not support adding root certificates that are bundled with them by
default.
2a In the Configure IP - ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point dialog box, click
Obtain Server Certificate.
2b Review the information on the Certificate Wizard page, then click Next.
2c In the Common name option, specify the name of the machine as specified during the
installation of the ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point.
