Encrypt push requests that push applications send to BlackBerry devices

You can configure a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to use SSL or TLS to encrypt the push requests that server-side push applications send to BlackBerry devices. By default, the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service does not encrypt the push requests that server-side push applications send.

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 encryption drop-down list, click Yes.

5.Click Save all.

Managing push application requests

The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service receives push application requests from server-side push applications and sends the requests to applications on BlackBerry devices. You can control how the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service processes, stores, and sends push application requests.

For more information about types of push requests, visit www.blackberry.com/developers to see the BlackBerry Java Development Environment Development Guide.

Specify device ports for application-reliable push requests

Application developers can create BlackBerry Java Applications to manage application-reliable push requests. When a BlackBerry Java Application receives an application-reliable push request, it sends a delivery confirmation message to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service, which sends the message to the server-side push application. You must specify the device port numbers that the BlackBerry Java Applications listen on for application-reliable push requests.

Before you begin: Contact your organization's application developers for the unique port numbers that they defined for BlackBerry Java Applications that support application-reliable push requests.

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