Wince Security Policy - Novell ZENWORKS HANDELD MANAGEMENT 7 SP1 IR4 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

2.4.14 WinCE Security Policy

The WinCE Security policy lets you configure the following:
Password Requirements: Lets you ensure that a password is set on associated Windows CE
devices and also lets you set a user's network password as the device password, configure
enhanced security options for Pocket PCs, such as the number of days to allow before a
password expires, the number of grace logins permitted before the user must change the
password, the minimum number of characters to allow for the password, and whether the
password must contain a combination of letters and numbers.
IMPORTANT: Before configuring the policy, you must configure the containers to be
searched to authenticate the handheld user credentials. You can do it either during the
ZENworks 7 Handheld Management server installation or after the installation.
To configure user authentication during the installation, you must select the Enable User
Authentication option, and specify the containers to search for user objects.
To configure user authentication after the installation, see
Authentication," on page
There are two places in ZENworks Handheld Management where users can be required to enter
a password: to authenticate to the directory as part of the WinCE Client Configuration policy
and to power on a handheld device as part of the WinCE Security policy. These two passwords
are independent of each other. For more information about the password users must enter to
authenticate to the directory, see
page 53.
Self-Destruct Settings: Lets you specify self-destruct settings to disable a Windows CE device
after a specified number of failed password attempts or after a specified number of days since
the device was last connected or synchronized.
IMPORTANT: The WinCE Security policy does not function on the Denso devices (BHT-200),
Symbol PPT 8800 or the Jornada Pocket PCs running Microsoft Windows for Pocket PC 2000
software. However, the Jornada Pocket PCs running Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 software can use the
WinCE Security policy.

1 In ConsoleOne, right-click the Handheld Package object, then click Properties.
2 On the Policies tab, click the down-arrow, then click WinCE.
3 Select the check box under the Enabled column for the WinCE Security policy.
