Managing Configuration of Password Authentication with Workspace ONE UEM

Password Authentication with Workspace ONE UEM authenticates using AirWatch Cloud Connector through the Workspace ONE UEM service. You enable this User Password Authentication through Workspace ONE UEM in the Identity & Access Management > Workspace ONE UEM page in the Workspace ONE Access console.

Important: The Password Authentication with Workspace ONE UEM authentication method does not work when Workspace ONE UEM is unreachable or unavailable for any reason, including planned maintenance and unplanned outages.

The Password (with Workspace ONE UEM) authentication method can be viewed and managed from the Identity & Access Management > Authentication Methods page and is associated to the built-in identity provider in the Identity Providers page.

Procedure

1. In the Workspace ONE Access console Identity & Access Management tab, select Authentication Methods.
2. In the Password (with Workspace ONE UEM) Configure column, click the pencil icon.
3. Review the configuration.
