Turn on push authorization
If you turned on push authentication and created push initiators to specify which push applications can send push
requests, you can create push rules to specify which users are permitted to receive authenticated push requests. The
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service can apply push rules only if you turn on push authorization for the BlackBerry MDS
Connection Service.
Before you begin:
• Turn on push authentication.
• Create push initiators to authenticate specific push applications.
1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, in the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution
topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view > MDS Connection Service.
2. Click the instance that you want to change.
3. Click Edit instance.
4. In the Access control section, in the Push authorization drop-down list, click Yes.
5. Click Save all.
After you finish: Create a push rule.
