Specifying permissions when connecting to the BlackBerry Configuration Database using Microsoft Windows authentication

During the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation process, if you choose to connect to the BlackBerry Configuration Database using Microsoft® Windows® authentication, the Microsoft Windows account that you use must have permissions on the database server. The type of permissions depends on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server setup option that you choose, and on whether you create the BlackBerry Configuration Database on the same computer as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or on another database server.

Specifying MSDE 2000 permissions for the Microsoft Windows account

If you install MSDE 2000 during the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation process, you do not need to specify additional permissions. When you select Microsoft® Windows® authentication during the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process, the setup application automatically assigns the required permissions to the Microsoft Windows account that you are using to complete the installation.

Assign Microsoft SQL Server permissions to the Windows account

Perform one of the following actions:
  • If you create the BlackBerry® Configuration Database on the same computer as the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, or if you install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service, assign the system administrator permission to the Windows® account that you are using to complete the installation.
  • If you create the BlackBerry Configuration Database on another computer, assign server administrator and database creator permissions to the Windows account that you are using to complete the installation process. If you are using Microsoft® SQL Server® 2005, assign the system administrator permission to each of the following roles: SQLAgentUserRole, SQLAgentReaderRole, and SQLAgentOperatorRole.
