Allow client authentication between the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service and web services
- Contact your organization's application developers for information about the web services that the BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications in your environment use.
- If you replaced the self-signed certificate for the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service with a signed root certificate from a certificate authority, the web services must trust the root certificate authority to authenticate to the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service.
The self-signed certificate
for the BlackBerry® MDS Integration Service allows client authentication between the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service
and web services hosts. If the BlackBerry® MDS Runtime Applications in your organization's environment use HTTPS to communicate with web servers to receive application data and application updates, you must export the certificate
for the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service to the web services hosts. This allows BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications
that use web services to authenticate to the web services and access them.
- Using Microsoft® Internet Explorer®, export the self-signed certificate for the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service from the trusted root certificate authorities area of the computer's key store.
- Send the self-signed certificate to the web services servers that the BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications use.
- Verify that the certificate is installed in the trusted key store of the web services servers.
