Configuring access to web services and managing signed and unsigned applications
Permit BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications to access web services using HTTPS
If you configure secure communication between the BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service
and web services, you must also configure the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
to permit BlackBerry® MDS Runtime Applications to establish HTTPS connections to external web services.
If external web services are deployed over HTTPS for secure communication, you must configure the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service to establish HTTPS connections to web services.

- Click the instance that you want to change.
- Click Edit instance.
- In the General section, in the Allow Web Services Access over SSL drop-down list, click True.

Define a BlackBerry MDS Runtime Application as a trusted application
A developer in your organization can sign a BlackBerry® MDS Runtime Application
with a digital certificate. You can add the digital certificate to a BlackBerry MDS Integration Service

Applications with a valid application bundle signature on BlackBerry devices.

devices.
