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.

On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service, at the command prompt, navigate to the folder that contains the TraitTool.exe file.

Perform one of the following tasks:

Task	Steps
Specify the credentials for HTTP basic authentication that your organization's BlackBerry Domain uses.	Type traittool -global -trait BASProxyBasicAuthUID -set <user_name>, where `<user_name>` is the user name (for example, user01@blackberry.com or blackberry.com\user01). Type traittool -global -trait BASProxyBasicAuthPassword -set <password>, where `<password>` is the password.
Specify the credentials for HTTP basic authentication that a specific BlackBerry Administration Service instance uses.	Type traittool -BASServer <name> -trait BASProxyBasicAuthUID -set <user_name>, where `<name>` is the host name of the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service instance and `<user_name>` is the user name (for example, user01@blackberry.com or blackberry.com\user01) for that computer. Type traittool -BASServer <name> -trait BASProxyBasicAuthPassword -set <password>, where `<name>` is the host name of the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service instance and `<password>` is the password for the computer.

Type traittool -global -trait BASProxyBasicAuthUID -set <user_name>, where <user_name> is the user name (for example, user01@blackberry.com or blackberry.com\user01).
Type traittool -global -trait BASProxyBasicAuthPassword -set <password>, where <password> is the password.

Specify the credentials for HTTP basic authentication that a specific BlackBerry Administration Service instance uses.

Type traittool -BASServer <name> -trait BASProxyBasicAuthUID -set <user_name>, where <name> is the host name of the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service instance and <user_name> is the user name (for example, user01@blackberry.com or blackberry.com\user01) for that computer.
Type traittool -BASServer <name> -trait BASProxyBasicAuthPassword -set <password>, where <name> is the host name of the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service instance and <password> is the password for the computer.
