ZENworks® ESM 3.5 Administrator’s Manual 121
Wi-Fi Security
If Wi-Fi Communication Hardware (Wi-Fi adapter PCMCIA or other cards, and/or built-in Wi-Fi
radios) is globally permitted (see “Wireless Control” on page 92), additional settings can be
applied to the adapter at this location.
To access this control, open the Locations tab and click the Wi-Fi Security icon in the policy tree
on the left.
Note:
In either of the Wi-Fi Connectivity Controls: Wi-Fi Security and Wi-Fi Management, unchecking enable will
disable ALL Wi-Fi connectivity in this location.
Figure 89 : Wi-Fi Security
The Wi-Fi adapter can be set to only communicate with access points with a specific level of
encryption or greater in a given location.
For example, if a WPA configuration of access points were deployed in a branch office, the
adapter can be restricted to only communicate with access points with a level of WEP 128
encryption or greater, thus preventing it from accidentally associating with rogue, non-secure
APs.
It is recommended a Custom User Message be written when the setting is placed above "No
Encryption Required."
