Duress Notification Address IT policy rule
Description |
This rule specifies the email address that is notified when BlackBerry device users type a BlackBerry device password under duress. Users can indicate that they are unlocking their devices against their will by moving the first character of the password to the end. For example, if a device password is example, the duress password is xamplee. Configure this rule to permit users to notify you that a device might have been stolen. Instruct users how to use the duress password feature. If you configure this rule, the maximum number times that a user can try a password is reduced by half. Each time a user types a password to unlock a device, the device must verify whether the password is either the correct password or the duress password. To prevent an unlocked device that was stolen from receiving a response to the duress notification, the email address that you specify should be active and you should not configure an out-of-office reply for it. |
