Managing Configuration of Password Authentication with Workspace ONE UEM in Workspace ONE Access

The Password (Workspace ONE UEM) authentication method authenticates using AirWatch Cloud Connector through the Workspace ONE UEM service. You enable User Password Authentication through Workspace ONE UEM in the Workspace ONE Access console Integrations > UEM Integration page and associate it to a built-in identity provider.

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.

After you associate the authentication methods in the built-in identity provider, you create access policies to apply to this authentication method.

Procedure

1. In the Workspace ONE Access console Integrations > Authentication Methods page, select Password (with Workspace ONE UEM) and click CONFIGURE.
2. Review the configuration.

   Option	Description
   Enable Workspace ONE UEM Password Authentication	When enabled Workspace ONE UEM password authentication is available as an authentication method.
   Workspace ONE UEM Admin Console URL	Prepopulated with the Workspace ONE UEM URL.
   Workspace ONE UEM API Key	Prepopulated with the Workspace ONE UEM Admin API key.
   Workspace ONE UEM Group ID	Prepopulated with the organization group ID.
   Number of authentication attempts allowed	The maximum number of failed login attempts when using the Workspace ONE UEM password for authentication. No more login attempts are allowed after the failed logins reach this number. The Workspace ONE Access service tries to use the fallback authentication method if it is configured. The default is five attempts.

3. Click SAVE.
   Important: When the Workspace ONE UEM service details applicable to this authentication method change, make sure that you update the Workspace ONE UEM configuration in the Workspace ONE Access console. Otherwise this authentication method might fail.

What to do next
