7.1 Configuring User Authentication

You can manage by both device and user (similar to ZENworks Desktop Management). If user-
based management is enabled, users are prompted for their credentials and ZENworks Handheld
Management authenticates the users using LDAP to log in to the directory.
During installation, you can configure user-based management of all of your handheld devices in
your ZENworks Handheld Management system. For more information, see
ZENworks Handheld Management
Installation Guide.
You can also configure user-based management by following the procedure in this section to edit the
properties of the ZENworks Handheld Management Service object.
NOTE: If you do not want to enable user authentication for all handheld devices in your ZENworks
Handheld Management system, you can choose to not enable global user authentication during
installation or by following the procedure in this section. You can then configure either the
Client Configuration policy
handheld devices or groups of handheld devices.
If user authentication is enabled, the user is prompted for his or her credentials (username and
password) the first time the device connects/synchronizes. ZENworks Handheld Management then
authenticates the user using LDAP to login to the directory. After the user is authenticated, you can
target policies and applications to the user of the handheld device.
The user must enter the credentials only once; ZENworks Handheld Management does not prompt
the user for the credentials again. If a user who has been authenticated gives the device to another
person, you should reconfigure the user on the device using ZENworks Handheld Management
console on the device.
