Create a Microsoft ActiveSync configuration in the Universal Device Service
You can create a Microsoft ActiveSync configuration so that devices that are managed by BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 and comply with your organization's security policies can connect to the Microsoft Exchange Server.
Before you begin:
- Configure Microsoft Exchange permissions for gatekeeping
- Configure Microsoft IIS permissions for gatekeeping
- Confirm that Microsoft Exchange is configured to block unauthorized devices from accessing Microsoft ActiveSync. Devices for existing users that are not explicitly added to the allowed list in Microsoft Exchange are blocked until they are allowed by the Universal Device Service.
- In the Universal Device Service console, in the menu bar, click Settings.
- In the left pane, beside Exchange ActiveSync, click the + icon.
- In the Server host name field, type the name of the Microsoft Exchange Server that you want to manage access to.
- In the Authentication type drop-down list, select the type of authentication that is used on the Microsoft Exchange Server.
- Type the username and password for the Microsoft Exchange account that you created to manage Microsoft ActiveSync gatekeeping.
- Select Use SSL to enable SSL authentication between the Universal Device Service and the Microsoft Exchange Server. Optionally, select additional certificate checks.
- In the Proxy type drop-down list, select the type of proxy configuration, if any, that is used between the Universal Device Service and the Microsoft Exchange Server.
- If you selected a proxy configuration in the previous step, select the authentication type that is used on the proxy server, and type the username and password.
- Click Test Connection to verify that the connection is successful.
After you finish: Turn on Microsoft ActiveSync gatekeeping for BlackBerry devices
