Description

 

 

wireless delivery

When you configure an IT policy, all rules take effect when the BlackBerry

 

Policy Service delivers the IT policy to a BlackBerry device over the wireless

 

network. The BlackBerry device stores new IT policy rule values in the user

 

configurations on the BlackBerry device automatically.

 

To keep the IT policy rules current, a BlackBerry Enterprise Server sends the

 

IT policy to the BlackBerry device over the wireless network periodically.

 

 

IT policy coverage

When you add a user account to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the

 

BlackBerry Policy Service applies the Default IT policy to the user account

 

automatically. The user account is not active on the BlackBerry Enterprise

 

Server until a BlackBerry device accepts the IT policy.

 

You can apply a different IT policy to a user account. If you delete an IT policy

 

that you applied to a user account, the BlackBerry Policy Service applies the

 

user account to the Default IT policy automatically.

 

 

IT policy assignment

You can apply an IT policy to a group or an individual user account.

 

 

resend options

If a BlackBerry Enterprise Server cannot send an updated IT policy to a

 

BlackBerry device immediately (for example, if a user is outside of a wireless

 

coverage area), you can resend the IT policy manually or configure when the

 

BlackBerry Policy Service resends the IT policy. The BlackBerry Enterprise

 

Server continues to resend the IT policy until it delivers the IT policy.

 

 

security enforcement

You can configure IT polices that define security settings for BlackBerry

 

devices, the BlackBerry Desktop Software and the BlackBerry Web Desktop

 

Manager, and that override security settings that users define on their

 

BlackBerry devices. For example, you can configure whether a password is

 

required for a BlackBerry device, the length of time that the password can

 

exist before it becomes invalid, and the length and composition of the

 

password. You can also use IT policies to specify encryption key details.

 

 

BlackBerry Router

The BlackBerry Router connects to the wireless network and sends data to and receives data from the BlackBerry Infrastructure on behalf of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry Router also sends data to and receives data from BlackBerry devices that are connected to the BlackBerry Device Manager or a Wi-Fi network. The BlackBerry Device Manager is included with the BlackBerry Device Software, BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager, and BlackBerry Administration Service.
