Configuring the BlackBerry Administration Service toauthenticate with a proxy server
If your organization's proxy server requires authentication, you must configure the BlackBerry Administration Service to
authenticate with the proxy server.
If the proxy server uses Windows authentication, you must configure the proxy server to authenticate the Windows account
that runs the BlackBerry Administration Service.
If your proxy server uses HTTP basic authentication, you can configure the user name and password for HTTP basic
authentication using the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool. You can specify the credentials for either the entire BlackBerry
Domain or for individual BlackBerry Administration Service instances. The BlackBerry Administration Service tries the
credentials that you specify for the BlackBerry Administration Service instance first and then tries the credentials that you
specify for the BlackBerry Domain.
