Configure the BlackBerry Dynamics server in BEMS

Your BEMS environment must be configured to trust the Root CA for the BlackBerry Proxy HTTPS configuration or implement the Karaf workaround. For instructions, see Configuring HTTPS for BEMS to the BlackBerry Proxy server.

The BlackBerry Dynamics server information in the following instructions refers to the FQDN of the server that hosts the BlackBerry Proxy service. The BlackBerry Proxy service is installed on on-premises BlackBerry UEM servers that have the BlackBerry Connectivity Node. The BlackBerry Connectivity Node is required for some BlackBerry UEM Cloud deployments when they link a company directory to the BlackBerry UEM Cloud tenant, and to offer on-premises connectivity to BlackBerry Dynamics users activated using the BlackBerry UEM Cloud. For more information about the BlackBerry Connectivity Node, see the BlackBerry UEM Installation and upgrade content.

  1. In the BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Server Dashboard, under BEMS System Settings, click BEMS Configuration.
  2. Click BlackBerry Dynamics.
  3. Complete one of the following actions:
    TaskSteps
    If a BlackBerry Proxy server is not defined
    1. Click Add BlackBerry Proxy.
    2. In the Host Name field, type the FQDN of the server that hosts the BlackBerry Proxy service host name.
    3. In the Protocol drop-down list, select the protocol used to communicate with the BlackBerry Proxy server.
      • If you select HTTPS, the Port field prepopulates to 17433.
      • If you select HTTP, the Port field prepopulates to 17080.
    4. Click Test to test the connection.
    5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to add additional BlackBerry Proxy servers for redundancy continuity.
    If one or more BlackBerry Proxy servers are defined

    No action is required. Previously defined BlackBerry Proxy servers are listed.

  4. Select the Apply to other nodes in the BEMS cluster check box to communicate the BlackBerry Proxy server information to all of the BEMS nodes in the cluster. If this option is not selected, repeat steps 1 to 3 on each BEMS instance in your environment.
  5. Optionally, select the Enforce the SLL Certificate validation when communicating with BlackBerry Dynamics check box when you use the https protocol to communicate with the BlackBerry Dynamics or BlackBerry Proxy server. It is best practice to enable this option when your environment is configured to use HTTPS SSL connections from BEMS to the BlackBerry Proxy server.
  6. Click Save.
