Configuring how users access enterprise applications and web content

After you finish: If the certificate does not exist, import the certificate to <drive>:\Program Files\Java\<JRE version>\lib \security\cacerts .

Permit push applications to select the transport protocol for PAP requests

By default, when a push application sends a PAP request to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service, the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service directs requests to an HTTPS port. Because some applications require an HTTP port, you may want to change this default setting. You can configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to permit the push application to select the transport protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) for PAP requests.

1.On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service, navigate to <drive>:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\MDS\Servers\instance\config .

2.In a text editor, open the rimpublic.properties file.

3.In the rimpublic.properties file, on a new line, type Delegate.push.initiator=true.

4.Save and close the rimpublic.properties file.

5.Restart the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.

Configuring a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to trust web servers

You can configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to permit BlackBerry devices to pull application data and updates from trusted or untrusted web servers. If you want to open trusted connections between web servers and the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service, you must import the certificate for the web server into the JRE certificates keystore file (JRE cacerts).

The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service supports LDAP, OCSP, and CRL to retrieve certificates and certificate status, and HTTPS and SSL/TLS for connections that use trusted certificates.
