Wi-Fi BlackBerry Infrastructure Wi-Fi Access Mode configuration setting
Description
This setting specifies whether a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® device can connect to the BlackBerry® Infrastructure over a Wi-Fi network to access the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server or the BlackBerry® Internet Service.
Default value
The default value is Access does not require VPN. A BlackBerry device can bypass active VPN connections when it connects to the BlackBerry Infrastructure over a Wi-Fi network.
Usage
- If you want a BlackBerry device to always use a VPN connection when it connects to the BlackBerry Infrastructure over a Wi-Fi network, you can choose the Access requires VPN option. You can choose this option if you want to enforce the additional security that a VPN connection provides.
- If you do not want a BlackBerry device to connect to the BlackBerry Infrastructure over a Wi-Fi network, you can choose the Access disabled option.
Dependencies
When you change this setting, you override the BlackBerry Infrastructure Wi-Fi Access Mode IT policy rule. You can use this setting to configure the access mode for a specific Wi-Fi network, and the IT policy rule to configure the access mode for other Wi-Fi networks.
If you turn off access to the BlackBerry Infrastructure over a Wi-Fi network using the IT policy rule, you cannot override the IT policy rule using this setting.
