Administration Guide Restricting the push application content that users can receive You can configure your organization's environment so that only specific server-side push applications can send push requests to BlackBerry devices. You can turn on push authentication to prevent a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service from sending push requests, and create push initiators that permit specific server-side applications to send push requests to BlackBerry devices. To permit specific users to receive push requests on BlackBerry devices, you can create push rules and assign the rules to the users. For more information about push requests, see the BlackBerry Java Development Environment Development Guide. Restrict push applications from sending data to BlackBerry devices You can turn on push authentication to allow only authenticated push applications to send push requests to applications on BlackBerry® devices. 1.

For push initiators to work, you must have push authentication turned on for the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. You can configure several server-side push applications to use the same push initiator (that is, to use the same authorization password) if your development environment allows it. Make sure that the authorization HTTP header in push requests from server-side push applications matches the push principal name and password that you specify for the push initiator. 1.
