Configuring the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use
Microsoft Exchange Web Services or MAPI and CDO

libraries

By default, the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server uses Microsoft® Exchange Web Services to manage calendars on
BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server monitors periodically whether a user account can use Microsoft
Exchange Web Services. If a user account cannot use Microsoft Exchange Web Services, for example, because of a
configuration error in Microsoft Exchange, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses MAPI and CDO libraries to manage
calendars on devices. A BlackBerry Messaging Agent on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can include a dynamic mix
of user accounts that use Microsoft Exchange Web Services and user accounts that use MAPI and CDO libraries.
You can use the BlackBerry® Enterprise Trait Tool to configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use only Microsoft
Exchange Web Services or only MAPI and CDO libraries to manage calendars on devices. You can configure a specific
BlackBerry Messaging Agent instance, a specific BlackBerry Enterprise Server, or all BlackBerry Enterprise Server
instances that share one BlackBerry Configuration Database.
To use Microsoft Exchange Web Services, your organization's environment must include Microsoft® Exchange 2007
SP1 or later.

Prerequisites: Configuring the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to use Microsoft
Exchange Web Services
• Install an SSL certificate on a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server so that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can
communicate with Microsoft® Exchange Web Services. You must export the SSL certificate from the client access
server for Microsoft® Exchange and import the SSL certificate to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry
Enterprise Server supports a self-signed security certificate or a certificate that a certificate authority issues. For
more information about installing an SSL certificate, visit
• Configure Microsoft® Exchange Impersonation for a BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrator account. For
