Situation

What is the meaning of the "ZENworks Zone" realm available in the zicon login Realm Name drop down box?

Resolution

"ZENworks Zone" Realm Name refers to the ZCM zone. You can login to the ZENworks Zone with the Administrator created by the default install or with users manually created in ZCM. The ZENworks Zone realm does not directly rely on any external LDAP user sources to perform authentication (although the option to use ZENworks Zone is only available when a user source has been configured). The ZENworks Zone users are stored in the ZCM database.
