Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Management 3.5 Manuale Utente

ZENworks® ESM 3.5

Administrator’s Manual

116

Wi-Fi management allows the administrator to create Access Point (AP) lists. The wireless access 
points entered into these lists will determine which APs the endpoint is permitted and not 
permitted to connect to within the location, and which access points it's permitted to see in 
Microsoft's Zero Configuration Manager (Zero Config). 3rd party wireless configuration 
managers are not supported with this functionality. If no access points are entered, all will be 
available to the endpoint. 

To access this control, open the Locations tab and click the Wi-Fi Management icon in the 
policy tree on the left.

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.

Entering APs into the Managed Access Points list will turn off Zero Config and force the endpoint 
to connect ONLY to the APs listed when they're available. If the Managed APs are not available, 
the ZSC will fall back to the Filtered Access Point List (see below). APs entered into Prohibited 
Access Points will never display in Zero Config.

The access point list is only supported on the Windows XP operating system. Prior to deploying an access 
point list, it is recommended all endpoints clear the preferred networks list out of Zero Config.
