Configuring authentication to the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
database
If you install the BlackBerry® MDS Integration Service on a Microsoft® SQL Server®, the setup application uses the same
authentication method and account that you specified for the BlackBerry Configuration Database. The account requires the
same permissions for the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database as it requires for the BlackBerry Configuration
Database.
If you install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database on an IBM® DB2® UDB, the BlackBerry MDS Integration
Service can connect to the database using database authentication only.
Configuring the local system account
Configure the local system account for Microsoft Windows authentication
Perform this task if you want to use a local system account to access the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, install the BlackBerry
Configuration Database on a separate computer, and use Microsoft® Windows® authentication to connect to the BlackBerry
Configuration Database.
