Administration Guide Assigning BlackBerry devices to users Activation passwords The BlackBerry Enterprise Server activates a BlackBerry device over the wireless network using the wireless activation authentication protocol and an activation password that is specific to the user account associated with the BlackBerry device. Item Description length of the activation password Typical activation passwords are four to eight characters long. Activation passwords are limited to the following character lengths: • BlackBerry device: 31 characters • BlackBerry Administration Service : 20 characters • KeyGenPassword field that stores the password in the BlackBerry Configuration Database: 50 characters character support security expiry time Activation passwords can include any type of character Wireless activation is designed so that short activation passwords do not compromise the security of the protocol. You must distribute the activation password to the authenticated user securely. If the user receives the activation password, but does not activate the BlackBerry device on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, a potentially malicious user who can access the activation password can connect another BlackBerry device to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and assume the identity of the intended user. When a user activates a BlackBerry device on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the activation password becomes inactive and a potentially malicious user cannot reuse it to activate another BlackBerry device. If a user receives an activation password, you cannot generate a new activation password for the user until the activation password expires. An activation password expires after 48 hours by default. You can configure an activation to password expire earlier than the default value of 48 hours. An activation password is no longer valid if any of the following events occur: • the user does not activate the BlackBerry device on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server before the default value of 48 hours elapses • the user types the activation password incorrectly five consecutive times • the BlackBerry Enterprise Server activates a BlackBerry device using the activation password 95

Activation passwords

The BlackBerry Enterprise Server activates a BlackBerry device over the wireless network using the wireless activation

authentication protocol and an activation password that is specific to the user account associated with the BlackBerry

device.

Description

length of the activation password

Typical activation passwords are four to eight characters long. Activation

passwords are limited to the following character lengths:

•

BlackBerry device: 31 characters

•

BlackBerry Administration Service : 20 characters

•

KeyGenPassword field that stores the password in the BlackBerry

Configuration Database: 50 characters

character support

Activation passwords can include any type of character

security

Wireless activation is designed so that short activation passwords do not

compromise the security of the protocol.

You must distribute the activation password to the authenticated user securely.

If the user receives the activation password, but does not activate the

BlackBerry device on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, a potentially malicious

user who can access the activation password can connect another BlackBerry

device to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and assume the identity of the

intended user.

When a user activates a BlackBerry device on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server,

the activation password becomes inactive and a potentially malicious user

cannot reuse it to activate another BlackBerry device.

If a user receives an activation password, you cannot generate a new activation

password for the user until the activation password expires. An activation

password expires after 48 hours by default. You can configure an activation to

password expire earlier than the default value of 48 hours.

expiry time

An activation password is no longer valid if any of the following events occur:

•

the user does not activate the BlackBerry device on the BlackBerry

Enterprise Server before the default value of 48 hours elapses

•

the user types the activation password incorrectly five consecutive times

•

the BlackBerry Enterprise Server activates a BlackBerry device using the

activation password
