CAUTION: If the proxy server authenticates using HTTP basic authentication, the PAC file must be on a computer that is separate from the proxy server and uses Windows® authentication or anonymous authentication. Before you begin: Obtain the URL for the PAC file. 1. On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service instance, log in using the Windows® account that runs the BlackBerry Administration Service. 2. Open Windows® Internet Explorer®. 3.

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. Configure the BlackBerry Administration Service to use HTTP basic authentication You use the BlackBerry® Enterprise Trait Tool to configure the BlackBerry Administration Service to use HTTP basic authentication to authenticate with a proxy server. HTTP basic authentication requires a user name and password for authentication. 1.

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.
Configure the BlackBerry Administration Service to use HTTP basic authentication
You use the BlackBerry® Enterprise Trait Tool to configure the BlackBerry Administration Service to use HTTP basic
authentication to authenticate with a proxy server. HTTP basic authentication requires a user name and password
for authentication.
1.
On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service, at the command prompt, navigate to the
folder that contains the TraitTool.exe file.
