Upgrade Guide

Setting up the database connection

The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server can connect to the BlackBerry Configuration Database on the Microsoft® SQL Server®
using Microsoft® Windows® authentication or database authentication. If you use Microsoft Windows authentication, the
BlackBerry Manager logs in to the BlackBerry Configuration Database using the Microsoft Windows account that you used
to complete the installation.
If you use database authentication with Microsoft SQL Server, the BlackBerry Manager authenticates to the database using
the database credentials that the administrator provides.
Specifying permissions when connecting to the BlackBerry Configuration Database
using Microsoft Windows authentication
During the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation process, if you choose to connect to the BlackBerry Configuration
Database using Microsoft® Windows® authentication, the Microsoft Windows account that you use must have permissions
on the database server. The type of permissions depends on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server setup option that you choose,
and on whether you create the BlackBerry Configuration Database on the same computer as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
or on another database server.

Specifying MSDE 2000 permissions for the Microsoft Windows account

If you install MSDE 2000 during the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation process, you do not need to specify additional
permissions. When you select Microsoft® Windows® authentication during the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation
process, the setup application automatically assigns the required permissions to the Microsoft Windows account that you
are using to complete the installation.

Assign Microsoft SQL Server permissions to the Microsoft Windows account

> Perform one of the following actions:
• If you create the BlackBerry® Configuration Database on the same computer as the BlackBerry® Enterprise
Server, or if you install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service, assign the system administrator permission to the
Microsoft® Windows® account that you are using to complete the installation.
• If you create the BlackBerry Configuration Database on another computer, assign server administrator and database
creator permissions to the Microsoft Windows account that you are using to complete the installation. If you are
using Microsoft® SQL Server® 2005, assign the system administrator permission, or each of the following roles:
SQLAgentUserRole, SQLAgentReaderRole, and SQLAgentOperatorRole.
