Connecting the BlackBerry Secure Connect Service to the BlackBerry Infrastructure through a TCP proxy server
When you use BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 to activate and manage iOS and Android devices, the BlackBerry Secure Connect Service connects directly to the BlackBerry Infrastructure. To satisfy your organization’s security standards and firewall rules, you can configure the BlackBerry Secure Connect Service to connect to the BlackBerry Infrastructure by routing data through a TCP proxy server.
A TCP proxy server is an optional, third-party software component that functions as a middle-man for data that passes between the BlackBerry Secure Connect Service and the BlackBerry Infrastructure. A TCP proxy server is typically used to manage how a company sends data to external sources and receives data from those sources.
Authentication with the TCP proxy server is not supported. The TCP proxy server can be transparent or non-transparent. A transparent proxy server does not change a request or response. A non-transparent proxy server can change a request or response to provide added service.
