Specifying a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service as the central push server

You can specify one BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service in a BlackBerry Domain as the central push server. The central push
server receives content push requests from server-side applications that are located on an application server, on a web server,
or in a database. It also manages push requests and sends application data and application updates to BlackBerry Applications
on BlackBerry devices.

Specify the central push server

Only one BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service in your organization's BlackBerry Domain can be specified as the central push
server. When you specify a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service as the central push server, any other BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service specified as the central push server in your organization's BlackBerry Domain has the designation removed.
1. In the BlackBerry Manager, in the left pane, click a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service.
2. On the Connection Service tab, click Common.
3. Click Set as Push Server.
After you finish:
• If you have the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service installed, verify that the central push server appears in the list of
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service instances that are available to the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service. You can
configure multiple instances of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server in your organization's BlackBerry Domain to use the
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service that you defined as the central push server.
• Notify the push application developers in your organization's environment that you have designated a new central push
server.

Configuring how BlackBerry devices authenticate to content servers

If you configured the content servers in your organization's environment to use an authentication protocol to authenticate the
sources of the data requests that they receive, you can control how BlackBerry® devices authenticate to content servers to receive
application data and application updates.
