User Guide
About software tokens
You might need a software token to log in to a VPN. A software token includes a token code that your BlackBerry
smartphone regenerates periodically and a PIN. If you use a software token to log in to a VPN, the software token must be
on your smartphone and the software token information that appears in the VPN profile must be correct. For more
information about software tokens, contact your administrator.
View IT policy rules that are set for your smartphone
If your BlackBerry smartphone is associated with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, your administrator might add IT policy
rules that determine which features and settings are available on your smartphone. For example, your administrator might
add an IT policy rule to your smartphone that requires you to use a password.
1. On the home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Security > Security Status Information > View IT Policy > IT Policy Details.

2. Click Security > Security Status Information.
3. Press the key > Verify Security Software.
Third-party application control
About permissions and trust status for third-party applications
You or your administrator can set permissions that control how third-party applications on your BlackBerry smartphone
interact with the other applications on your smartphone. For example, you can control whether third-party applications can
access data or the Internet, make calls, or track your location. Some applications require specific permissions to work.
If you have added a third-party application to your smartphone, your smartphone is designed to prevent the application
from sending or receiving data without your knowledge. The first time that you open a third-party application, you might be
prompted to trust the application or to set permissions for it. If you trust the application, your smartphone sets most
permissions for the application to Allow. You can change the permissions for a specific application or all applications in the
smartphone options.
