Users cannot access web content on their BlackBerry devices until you permit the users to access specific web servers using pull rules.

After you finish: To permit users to access specific web servers, specify allowed web address patterns and assign the web address patterns to a pull rule, and assign the pull rule to a user account or group.

Specify web address patterns

You can create pull rules that specify which web address patterns users can and cannot use to access web servers from the BlackBerry Browser and other applications on their BlackBerry devices. To create a pull rule, you must first specify web address patterns (for example, specify addresses with domains that are allowed). You can assign the web address patterns to a pull rule that you create, and specify whether access to web servers that match the web address patterns is permitted or restricted on BlackBerry devices. After you create a pull rule, you must assign it to user accounts or groups.

A web site that uses DNS load balancing returns a single IP address to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service but might use multiple IP addresses to provide access to the web site. As a result, the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service might not be able to restrict BlackBerry devices from accessing the web site.

1.In the BlackBerry Administration Service, in the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view.

2.Click MDS Connection Service.

3.Click Edit component.

4.On the Pull URL patterns tab, in the appropriate protocol section, type the web address pattern of a web server that you want to control access to. The web address patterns are based on Java regular expressions (for example, .* \..*domain.*).

5.Click the Add icon.

6.Click Save all.

After you finish: Create web address patterns for each web server that you want to permit users to access. Create a pull rule that permits users to access the web servers that match the web address patterns.
