feature, the self-destruct feature activates Thursday at 2 p.m (72 hours after the last

2.4.9 WinCE Client Configuration Policy

The WinCE Client Configuration policy lets you override the user authentication settings of the
ZENworks Handheld Management Service object for associated WinCE devices.
You can set up user authentication on a global basis for all handheld devices in your ZENworks
Handheld Management system during installation or you can edit the properties of the ZENworks
Handheld Management Service object.
If you do not want to enable user authentication for all handheld devices in your system, you can
choose to not enable global user authentication during installation or by editing the properties of the
ZENworks Handheld Management Service object. You can then configure and enable the WinCE
Client Configuration policy by following the procedure in this section to target only specific
handheld devices or groups of handheld devices.
For more information about setting up user authentication on a global basis during installation, see
"Installing the ZENworks Handheld Management
Management Installation
ZENworks Handheld Management Service object to enable global user authentication, see
Section 7.1, "Configuring User Authentication," on page
If user authentication is enabled, the user is prompted for his or her credentials (username and
password). ZENworks Handheld Management then authenticates the user using LDAP to log in to
the directory. After the user is authenticated, you can target policies and applications to the user of
the handheld device.
If the device uses the Windows IP client to connect, the user-authentication dialog box displays on
the handheld device.
When the user is prompted for authentication, if he or she clicks Cancel, the handheld device can be
managed by device, but user-based management does not function because the user is not
authenticated. If the user mis-types the username or password, he or she is immediately prompted
for the credentials again.
