Configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to authenticate devices to the RSA Authentication Manager

Before you begin:

Configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to authenticate to the content servers in your organization's environment on behalf of BlackBerry devices.
To specify the web addresses that require RSA authentication, configure URL patterns and access control rules that restrict user access to specific web addresses or intranet addresses.

In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry Solution topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view.
Click MDS Connection Service.
Click Edit component.
On the RSA tab, in the Protocol service information section, in the RSA® authentication support drop-down list, select one of the following options:
- If you want users to use RSA authentication when they access every web address or intranet address, select Turn on globally.
- If you want users to use RSA authentication when they access the intranet only, select Turn on for Intranet only.
- If you want users to use RSA authentication for web addresses or intranet addresses that you specify, select Turn on for specific sites only.
In the RSA authentication timeout field, type a number, in minutes, to specify how long devices that the RSA Authentication Manager authenticates can remain connected to your organization's network while the users are active. By default, the authenticated connection persists for 24 hours.
In the RSA inactivity timeout field, type a number, in minutes, to specify how long devices can remain connected to your organization's network while the users are inactive. By default, an authenticated connection persists for 60 minutes of user inactivity on the devices.
Click Save all.
