Chapter 1. Product overview
IBM® Maximo® Mobile for EAM is a next-generation mobile application platform that allows users to
securely access IBM Maximo Asset Management functionality from a mobile device.
The Maximo Mobile for EAM app is available for download from Google Play and the Apple App Store.
After a mobile user installs the app on their device and connects to the Maximo Asset Management server,
mobile apps that are deployed on the server are set up on the user's device. These apps provide a mobile
user with capabilities to manage work and conduct inspections both when the apps are connected and
disconnected.
The following diagram shows the system architecture of Maximo Mobile for EAM and highlights the
relationships between key components in Maximo Asset Management:
System requirements
Review the system requirements before you install Maximo Mobile for EAM.

Configuring authentication
To log in to the Maximo Mobile for EAM app, users must be authenticated by using the credentials
that they use to access Maximo Asset Management. If Maximo Asset Management is configured to use
application server security, you must configure the app to use the specific type of authentication that the
application server uses.
Application server security supports two types of authentication: form and basic. For more information,
see Configuring user authentication.

2. In the Property Name field, specify maximo.mobile.ldap.mode.
3. In the Global Value field, enter the value that corresponds to the type of application server
security that the Maximo Asset Management server uses. Specify 0 if the server is using form-based
authentication or specify 1 if the server is using basic authentication.
4. In the Common Actions menu, click Save Property.
5. In the Global Properties table, select the checkbox for the property that you set.
6. In the Common Actions menu, click Live Refresh. The value that you applied to the property takes
effect immediately.
