Use the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol to configure automatic proxy selection
You can
use the BlackBerry Enterprise Trait Tool to configure the BlackBerry Administration Service to use the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol to select a proxy server automatically.
The Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol uses DHCP and DNS to find a PAC file. Perform this
task on any computer that hosts a BlackBerry Administration Service instance.
Note: If the proxy server authenticates using HTTP basic
authentication, the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol file must be on a computer that
is separate from the proxy server and use Windows
authentication or anonymous authentication.
- On a computer that hosts a BlackBerry Administration Service instance, in the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 installation files, navigate to the tools folder and run TraitTool.exe as an administrator.
- Type traittool -global -trait BASIsProxyWPADOptionEnabled -set 1.
After you finish:
- To clear the current settings for the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol, type traittool -global -trait BASIsProxyWPADOptionEnabled -erase.
- To turn off the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol, type traittool -global -trait BASIsProxyWPADOptionEnabled -set 0.
