Administration Guide Configuring the BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment

Configuring certain BlackBerry Enterprise Server components to use proxy servers

You can configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service and the BlackBerry Collaboration Service to use proxy servers to access web addresses on the Internet and your organization's intranet. You should use a proxy method that is consistent with the proxy method that other applications and servers in your organization use to access web content.

Proxy servers typically do not permit network traffic between servers that are on the same side of the firewall, so you can configure certain BlackBerry Enterprise Server components to use a .pac file, or to access the Internet directly through a proxy server. You can also configure multiple proxy servers to manage traffic to specific web addresses, and you can specify URLs that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components can access without using a proxy server.
