Administration Guide Configuring certain BlackBerry Enterprise Server components to use proxy servers Configure a BlackBerry Enterprise Server component to use a proxy server You can configure the BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service and the BlackBerry Collaboration Service to access web servers through a proxy server. You can specify more than one proxy string in a proxy mapping rule for a web address. If the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server component cannot access the web server using the first proxy string, it tries to access the web server using the subsequent proxy strings that you specify, until the component accesses the web server. If the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service is configured to use a proxy server, BlackBerry device users can browse web sites that use HTTPS if the proxy server supports basic authentication only. 1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, in the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view. 2. Expand the appropriate BlackBerry Enterprise Server component. 3. Click the instance that you want to change. 4. Click Edit instance. 5. On the Proxy mappings tab, in the Universal resource locator field, type the URL regular expression for the web address that you want the proxy mapping rule to control. 6. In the Proxy type drop-down list, perform one of the following actions: • To configure a proxy server, click PROXY. In the Proxy string field, type the proxy server name and port number using the following format: :. • To exclude the web address from routing through the proxy server, click DIRECT. 7. Click the Add icon for the proxy item. If you add more than one proxy item, use the Up and Down icons to set the priority for the proxy items. 8. Click the Add icon for the web address. If you add more than one web address, use the Up and Down icons to set the priority for the web addresses. 9. Click Save all. Configure a BlackBerry Enterprise Server component to authenticate to a proxy server on behalf of BlackBerry devices You can configure the BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service and the BlackBerry Collaboration Service to authenticate to a proxy server on behalf of BlackBerry devices. Before you begin: If you want to configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to authenticate to a proxy server on behalf of BlackBerry devices, turn on authentication support for the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service. 1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, in the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view. 2. Expand the appropriate BlackBerry® Enterprise Server component. 3. Click the instance that you want to change. 4. Click Edit instance. 65

Configure a BlackBerry Enterprise Server component to use a proxy server
You can configure the BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service and the BlackBerry Collaboration Service to access web
servers through a proxy server.
You can specify more than one proxy string in a proxy mapping rule for a web address. If the BlackBerry® Enterprise
Server component cannot access the web server using the first proxy string, it tries to access the web server using
the subsequent proxy strings that you specify, until the component accesses the web server.
If the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service is configured to use a proxy server, BlackBerry device users can browse
web sites that use HTTPS if the proxy server supports basic authentication only.
