Understanding Remote Management Security

In order for the Remote Management Agent to accept a Remote Management request, the managed workstation must be registered into NDS and be imported as an NDS Workstation object. The Remote Management Agents use NDS authentication to verify that the user requesting to remotely access the managed workstation is authorized to do so. The effective policy settings based on which the administrator performs Remote Management sessions on the managed workstation are taken from the NDS Workstation object and the User object of the user logged in to the managed workstation.

The ZfD management console runs under ConsoleOne®. The Remote Management Agents are NDS authentication-aware and policy-aware and will not allow unauthorized Remote Management sessions to occur.
