Connect BlackBerry UEM to your organization’s app-based PKI solution

App-based PKI solutions such as Purebred include an app installed on a device that communicates with a CA to enroll certificates and add them to the device. You can use an app-based PKI solution to provide certificates for use by BlackBerry Dynamics apps.

To use an app-based PKI solution with iOS devices, you must add a connection between BlackBerry UEM and the PKI provider. This task is not required to use an app-based PKI solution with only Android devices.

If the PKI app that retrieves certificates from the CA is not a BlackBerry Dynamics app, the BlackBerry UEM Client communicates with the PKI app to get the certificates and provide them to BlackBerry Dynamics apps.

Verify that the app that retrieves certificates for use by BlackBerry Dynamics apps is in the app list in UEM.
  1. In the management console, on the menu bar, click Settings > External integration > Certificate authority.
  2. Click Add a connection for device based certificates.
  3. Select the app that retrieves certificates from the PKI app for use by BlackBerry Dynamics apps. To use Purebred, select the UEM Client.
  4. Click Add.
