Permitting push applications to make trusted connections to a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service To permit push applications to open trusted connections to a BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service, you must create a key store (the webserver.keystore file) on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. This key store permits the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to accept HTTPS connections from push applications. Push applications can use a BlackBerry MDS Connection Service certificate to open HTTPS connections to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to push application data and application updates to the BlackBerry devices that are assigned to that BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. You can use the Java® keytool to create a self-signed certificate for the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service, or you can import a signed certificate from a trusted public certification authority. You can use the Java keytool to export the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service certificate from the key store, and import the certificate to the key stores that the Java push applications use. For more information about using the Java keytool, visit java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/ keytool.html.
