If the proxy server uses Windows® authentication, you must configure the proxy server to authenticate the Windows account that runs the BlackBerry Administration Service. If your proxy server uses HTTP basic authentication, you can configure the user name and password for HTTP basic authentication using the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool.

Configuring the BlackBerry Administration Service to authenticate with a
proxy server
If your organization's proxy server requires authentication, you must configure the BlackBerry® Administration
Service to authenticate with the proxy server.
If the proxy server uses Windows® authentication, you must configure the proxy server to authenticate the Windows
account that runs the BlackBerry Administration Service.
If your proxy server uses HTTP basic authentication, you can configure the user name and password for HTTP basic
authentication using the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool. You can specify the credentials for either the entire
BlackBerry Domain or for individual BlackBerry Administration Service instances. The BlackBerry Administration
Service tries the credentials that you specify for the BlackBerry Administration Service instance first and then tries
the credentials that you specify for the BlackBerry Domain.
