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 Components > Workspace ONE UEM Integration page in the Workspace ONE Access console.

Note: You install ACC and configure the ACC component in Workspace ONE UEM. After the ACC is installed and configured, you integrate the Workspace ONE UEM directory services with Active Directory. See the VMware Workspace ONE UEM Directory Services Guide for information about enabling the directory services.

To implement ACC authentication for Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub app in the Workspace ONE Access console, the Password (for Workspace ONE UEM) authentication method is associated to a built-in identity provider.

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

Important: When the AirWatch Cloud Connector software is upgraded, make sure that you update the Workspace ONE UEM integration configuration in the Workspace ONE Access console. This also updated the Password (with Workspace ONE UEM) authentication method configuration.
