Allow the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service to communicate with the BlackBerry Manager
When the BlackBerry® Manager connects to the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service for the first time after installation, the
BlackBerry Manager prompts you to view and install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service self-signed certificate. This certificate
allows server-authenticated communication between the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service and the BlackBerry Manager.
Before you begin: Perform this task immediately after you install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service.
1.
In the BlackBerry Manager, in the left pane, click a BlackBerry MDS Integration Service.
2.
In the certificate installation dialog box, click View Certificate.
3.
Review the certificate information.
4.
Click Install Certificate.
5.
Complete the instructions on the screen. Accept the default settings.
6.
When prompted, click Cancel.
Allow client authentication between the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service and web
services
The self-signed certificate for the BlackBerry® MDS Integration Service allows client authentication between the BlackBerry
MDS Integration Service and web services hosts. If the BlackBerry® MDS Runtime Applications in your organization's environment
use HTTPS to communicate with web servers to receive application data and application updates, you must export the certificate
for the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service to the web services hosts. This allows BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications that use
web services to authenticate to the web services and access them.
Before you begin:
•
Contact your organization's application developers for information about the web services that the BlackBerry MDS Runtime
Applications in your environment use.
•
If you replaced the self-signed certificate for the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service with a signed root certificate from a
certificate authority, the web services must trust the root certificate authority to authenticate to the BlackBerry MDS
Integration Service.
1.
Using Microsoft® Internet Explorer®, export the self-signed certificate for the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service from the
trusted root certificate authorities area of the computer's key store.
2.
Send the self-signed certificate to the web services servers that the BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications use.
3.
Verify that the certificate is installed in the trusted key store of the web services servers.
