Administration Guide Configuring how BlackBerry devices authenticate to content servers Configuring how BlackBerry devices authenticate to content servers If you configured the content servers in your organization's environment to use an authentication protocol to authenticate the sources of the data requests that they receive, you can control how BlackBerry® devices authenticate to content servers to receive application data and application updates. Configure how BlackBerry devices authenticate to content servers You can configure whether BlackBerry® devices authenticate to content servers directly, or whether the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service authenticates to content servers on behalf of BlackBerry devices. If you configure BlackBerry devices to authenticate directly to content servers but you do not configure an authentication method for BlackBerry MDS Connection Service connections, authenticated BlackBerry devices prompt users to provide login information every 60 minutes. The BlackBerry devices prompt users only if the connection to the content server persists for more than 60 minutes. 1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view. 2. Click MDS Connection Service. 3. Click Edit component. 4. On the HTTP tab, in the Protocol service information section, in the Authentication support enabled drop-down list, perform one of the following actions: • If you want BlackBerry devices to authenticate to content servers directly, click No. • If you want the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to store authentication information and perform HTTP authentication on behalf of BlackBerry devices, click Yes. 5. If necessary, in the Authentication timeout field, type the length of time, in milliseconds, that you want authentication information for BlackBerry devices to remain valid on the content server. By default, the authentication timeout limit is 1 hour. 6. Click Save all. After you finish: If you set Authentication support enabled to Yes, configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to authenticate to content servers that use NTLM, Kerberos™, LTPA, or RSA® Authentication Manager on behalf of BlackBerry devices.

Configuring how BlackBerry devices authenticate to

content servers

If you configured the content servers in your organization's environment to use an authentication protocol to

authenticate the sources of the data requests that they receive, you can control how BlackBerry® devices authenticate

to content servers to receive application data and application updates.

Configure how BlackBerry devices authenticate to content servers

You can configure whether BlackBerry® devices authenticate to content servers directly, or whether the BlackBerry

MDS Connection Service authenticates to content servers on behalf of BlackBerry devices. If you configure BlackBerry

devices to authenticate directly to content servers but you do not configure an authentication method for BlackBerry

MDS Connection Service connections, authenticated BlackBerry devices prompt users to provide login information

every 60 minutes. The BlackBerry devices prompt users only if the connection to the content server persists for more

than 60 minutes.

In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the

Servers and components

menu, expand

BlackBerry Solution

topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view

Click

MDS Connection Service

Click

Edit component

On the

HTTP

tab, in the

Protocol service information

section, in the

Authentication support enabled

drop-down

list, perform one of the following actions:

•

If you want BlackBerry devices to authenticate to content servers directly, click

•

If you want the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to store authentication information and perform HTTP

authentication on behalf of BlackBerry devices, click

Yes

If necessary, in the

Authentication timeout

field, type the length of time, in milliseconds, that you want

authentication information for BlackBerry devices to remain valid on the content server.

By default, the authentication timeout limit is 1 hour.

Click

Save all

After you finish:

If you set

Authentication support enabled

Yes

, configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service

to authenticate to content servers that use NTLM, Kerberos™, LTPA, or RSA® Authentication Manager on behalf of

BlackBerry devices.
