Configuring certificate server information for the
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
The certificate for the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service permits push applications to make HTTPS connection to the
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. You can configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to search for and retrieve
certificates and the status of the certificates that external web servers use to make HTTPS connections.
To search for and retrieve certificates from an LDAP server, you can configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to
use LDAP or DSML. The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service searches each LDAP server using LDAP or DSML in the order
that you specify. If you configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to use both LDAP and DSML to search and
retrieve certificates, the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service searches the servers using LDAP and then searches the
servers using DSML. After the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service retrieves the certificate, the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server sends the certificate to the BlackBerry device, and the BlackBerry device displays the certificate so that the user
can accept it. The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service supports DSML version 2.
To search for and retrieve the status of the certificates, you can configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to
search the OCSP servers or CRL servers. If you search for the status of the certificates using an OCSP server or a CRL
server, which server you choose to search for the status of the certificates first does not matter because each server
creates a prioritized list automatically.
