Configuring the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use Microsoft Exchange Web Services or MAPI and CDO libraries

By default, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses Microsoft Exchange Web Services to manage calendars on BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server monitors periodically whether a user account can use Microsoft Exchange Web Services. If a user account cannot use Microsoft Exchange Web Services, for example, because of a configuration error in Microsoft Exchange, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses MAPI and CDO libraries to manage calendars on devices. A BlackBerry Messaging Agent on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can include a dynamic mix of user accounts that use Microsoft Exchange Web Services and user accounts that use MAPI and CDO libraries.

You can use the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool to configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use only Microsoft Exchange Web Services or only MAPI and CDO libraries to manage calendars on devices. You can configure a specific BlackBerry Messaging Agent instance, a specific BlackBerry Enterprise Server, or all BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances that share one BlackBerry Configuration Database.

To use Microsoft Exchange Web Services, your organization's environment must include Microsoft Exchange 2007 SP1 or later.

Prerequisites: Configuring the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use Microsoft Exchange Web Services

Install an SSL certificate on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server so that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can communicate with Microsoft Exchange Web Services. You must export the SSL certificate from the client access server for Microsoft Exchange and import the SSL certificate to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server supports a self-signed security certificate or a certificate that a certificate authority issues. For more information about installing an SSL certificate, visit support.microsoft.com to read article KB 962624.
