Configuring Integrated Windows authentication so that users can access resources on your organization's network

To permit BlackBerry device users to access resources on your organization's network using BlackBerry devices without requiring the users to type a user name and password each time they access the network resources, you can configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to support Integrated Windows authentication. Users can then access network resources such as intranet sites and network shared folders on their devices using the BlackBerry Browser or Files application without typing a user name and password.

Before you configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to support Integrated Windows authentication, you must create a Microsoft Active Directory account in each Microsoft Active Directory domain that includes resources that you want to turn on Integrated Windows authentication for. You must configure constrained delegation for the Microsoft Active Directory accounts so that they delegate access to each intranet site or network shared folder in the Microsoft Active Directory domain.

You must also configure two-way trust between the Microsoft Active Directory domain that the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service is running on and other Microsoft Active Directory domains in other forests that the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service must connect to. The S4U2proxy extension that the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service uses to retrieve the Kerberos service tickets for users requires a two-way trust between Microsoft Active Directory domains.

After you turn on Integrated Windows authentication and specify a Microsoft Active Directory account in the BlackBerry Administration Service, you must specify web address patterns for the network resources that you want to permit users to access, create a pull rule for the web address patterns, permit access to the web address patterns using the pull rule, and assign the pull rule to users or a group.

After you configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to support Integrated Windows authentication, the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service uses the Microsoft Active Directory account to verify login information for a user and access the network resources on behalf of the user. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server then sends information from the network resources to the user's device.
