Administration Guide Changing password settings for BlackBerry Administration Service authentication For example, the security policies in your organization might require that administrators log in using BlackBerry Administration Service single sign-on and BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager users log in using IBM® Lotus Notes® user names and passwords. In this scenario, you can instruct administrators to log into the BlackBerry Administration Service console using the web address https:///webconsole/login and instruct BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager users to log in to BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager using the web address https:// /webdesktop/app. Changing password settings for BlackBerry Administration Service authentication If you use BlackBerry® Administration Service authentication in your organization's environment, you can change the minimum password length and the date when passwords expire to meet the requirements of your organization's security policies. By default, the minimum password length is four characters and a password expires after 365 days. If you change the minimum password length, administrators that use passwords that do not meet the new minimum length are not required to change the passwords until the passwords expire. Change password settings for BlackBerry Administration Service authentication 1. In the BlackBerry® Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, click BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view. 2. Click BlackBerry Administration Service. 3.

Regenerate the system credentials for the BlackBerry Administration Service The setup application generates the system credentials for the BlackBerry® Administration Service during the installation process. The BlackBerry Administration Service uses the system credentials when it communicates with other BlackBerry® Enterprise Server components. If you suspect that the system credentials are compromised, you can regenerate them on the database server. Before you begin: Verify that you have database owner permissions for the BlackBerry Configuration Database. 1. On all of the computers that host BlackBerry Administration Service instances, in the Windows® Services, stop the BlackBerry Administration Service services. 2. On the database server, on the BlackBerry Configuration Database, run the following SQL statement: DELETE from BASTraits WHERE PlugInId=8 AND TraitId=0. 231
