  • Your organization's firewall must allow outbound connections over port 3101 to
    <region>
    .turnb.bbsecure.com and
    <region>
    .bbsecure.com. If you configure
    UEM
    to use a proxy server, verify that the proxy server allows connections over port 3101 to these subdomains.
  • In each
    UEM
    instance, the
    BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
    component must be running.
  • By default,
    Android Enterprise
    devices are restricted from using

    to connect to
    Google Play
    and underlying services (com.android.providers.media, com.android.vending, and com.google.android.apps.gcs).
    Google Play
    does not have proxy support.
    Android Enterprise
    devices use a direct connection over the Internet to
    Google Play
    . These restrictions are configured in the Default enterprise connectivity profile and in any new enterprise connectivity profiles that you create. It is recommended to keep these restrictions in place. If you remove these restrictions, you must contact
    Google Play
    support for the firewall configuration required to allow connections to
    Google Play
    using
    BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
    .

    before you enable

    .
  • If you route the data that travels between
