Configuring Bypass Option for Logon Password

Use

When a mobile device is used by a specific user only, it is possible to bypass the client logon using the logon password. If you activate this option using the MobileEngine.Security.BypassLocalLogonPassword parameter, the client deactivates the request for the logon password and authenticates the user from the operating system logon. The logon of the user to the operating system is then considered sufficient by the mobile client.

Prerequisites

The device is used in single user mode: MobileEngine.UM.SingleUserMode=true (more information: Parameters for Single Sign-On ).
The handling option for the synchronization password must not be set to local : MobileEngine.Security.SynchronizationPasswordHandlingOption=atSync or MobileEngine.Security.SynchronizationPasswordHandlingOption=once (more information: Parameters for Security and Authentication ).

Note

If the mobile application offers its own control element (pushbutton or link) to start synchronization, this application must support the synchronization password options atSync and once .

Procedure

Add the following parameters to the file default.properties and configuration .properties :

MobileEngine.Security.BypassLocalLogonPassword=true or MobileEngine.Security.BypassLocalLogonPassword=false .
