Using Kerberos

BlackBerry Dynamics apps support both Kerberos PKINIT with PKI certificates and Kerberos Constrained Delegation. Kerberos PKINIT and Kerberos Constrained Delegation are distinct implementations of Kerberos. You can support one or the other for BlackBerry Dynamics apps, but not both.

With Kerberos PKINIT, authentication occurs directly between the BlackBerry Dynamics app and the Windows Key Distribution Center (KDC). User authentication is based on certificates that are issued by Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services. No additional programming is required by the app developer to use Kerberos PKINIT.

With Kerberos Constrained Delegation, authentication is based on a trust relationship between the management server (BlackBerry UEM and a KDC. The management server communicates with the service on behalf of the app.

For more information about how to configure the desired Kerberos implementation in UEM, including requirements and prerequisites, see Configuring Kerberos for BlackBerry Dynamics apps in the UEM Administration Guide.
