Administration Guide Compatibility of authentication methods with previous versions of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server User Administration Tool

Extracting credentials that are stored in the Windows registry

The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server User Administration Tool uses the -p <password> command to extract and decrypt credentials that are stored in the Windows® registry and then inserts the credentials into the command line options.

Example

BESUserAdminClient -p password1 -status This runs the following command:

BESUserAdminClient -username smoser -password password1 -ad_auth -domain test.rim.net -status

String value requirements

To specify -set_client_auth values that contain characters in double quotation marks, you must surround the entire string with double quotation marks. You must use a set of quotation marks to escape every embedded set of characters that are in double quotation marks.

Example: Using double quotation marks to specify a work location nickname for a user

If you have two users with the same name, Sam Moser, one of whom works in Waterloo and the other in New York, you can specify the work location for the user as a nickname.

BESUserAdminClient -username "Sam \"Waterloo\" Moser" -password password -status You store this option and value in the Windows® registry using the following command:

BESUserAdminClient -set_p password1 -set_client_auth "-username ""Sam \"\"Waterloo\"\" Moser"" -password password"

•User name: NTLMU1

•Password: NTLMP1

Example: Running a command using SQL authentication
