Configure the secure communication password for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

You must have site administrator permissions to perform this task.

The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server encrypts data traffic between some BlackBerry Enterprise Server components using a secure communication password. You can configure the secure communication password on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or use the default password. If you configure the secure communication password, you must configure the same password on the BlackBerry MVS Server instance that connects to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry MVS Server uses the secure communication password to encrypt communication between the BlackBerry MVS Connection Service and BlackBerry Dispatcher.

  1. Log in to the BlackBerry MVS web UI of the BlackBerry MVS Server that connects to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
  2. On the Administration menu, click BlackBerry Enterprise Server Connection.
  3. In the BlackBerry Enterprise Servers section, perform one of the following actions:
    • If the the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that the BlackBerry MVS Connection Service connects to appears in the BlackBerry Enterprise Servers section, click Edit beside the name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
    • If the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that the BlackBerry MVS Connection Service connects to does not appear in the BlackBerry Enterprise Servers section, click Add. In the Host Name field, type the host name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Select the Enable Connector check box.
  4. In the Dispatcher Password and Confirm Password fields, type and confirm the secure communication password.
  5. Click Save.
  • If your organization's environment includes multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances in a BlackBerry Domain, repeat steps 3 to 5 for each BlackBerry Enterprise Server that the BlackBerry MVS Connection Service connects to.
  • To apply the changes, restart the BlackBerry MVS Connection Service.
