Blackberry blackberry enterprise server for microsoft exchange Protocol connections, Display

Feature and Technical OverviewBlackBerry Enterprise Server components and features

Feature	Description
protocol connections	You can define connections to the web servers on your organization’s intranet or
	the Internet using standard Internet protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and
	TCP/IP.
encrypted communications	The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service encrypts content using the same
	standard BlackBerry encryption that the BlackBerry Dispatcher uses to encrypt
	messages and other data.
data conversion	The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service converts data from application servers
	and web servers to a format that BlackBerry Applications can interpret and
	display.
data optimization	The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service processes content that users can view
	in the BlackBerry Browser. For example, the BlackBerry MDS Connection
	Service can change the data format or remove extraneous data to reduce
	network traffic.
authentication methods	You can configure authentication requirements that match your organization's
	sign-on scheme using standard methods such as NTLM, Kerberos, and LTPA.
	You can also define a period of time after which the BlackBerry MDS Connection
	Service requests user information and caches cookies.
	You can use two-factor authentication to create VPN connections between
	wireless applications on BlackBerry devices and your organization’s application
	servers and web servers.
integration with proxy servers	You can provide access to specific content through your organization's proxy
	servers using the following items:
	• proxy exclusion list, which defines the organization-specific URLs that the
	BlackBerry MDS Connection Service uses to connect directly to external web
	services instead of routing the connections through your organization's
	proxy server
	• proxy auto-configuration (.pac) file
access control	You can configure push initiators and push rules that define which server-side
	push applications can send application data and updates to BlackBerry devices,
	and which users can receive push requests. You can configure pull rules to
	specify which web servers users can access using the BlackBerry Browser and
	other applications on BlackBerry devices.
media content management	You can control which media files users can receive and access using the
	BlackBerry Browser and BlackBerry Applications. You can prevent users from
	receiving specific media types (for example, video files) or specific subtypes of
	media (for example, .mp3 files). You can also configure size limits for media files
	that users can receive on their BlackBerry devices.
