Architecture: BlackBerry BRIDGE in an on-premises BlackBerry UEM environment


Architecture: BlackBerry Enterprise BRIDGE

Note: Each directory-linked group can link to only one company directory. For example, if BlackBerry UEM has two Microsoft Active Directory connections (A and B), and you create a directory-linked group that is linked to connection A, you can link only to directory groups from connection A. You must create new directory linked groups for any other directory connections.

Component

Description

BlackBerry UEM Core

The BlackBerry UEM Core is the central component of the BlackBerry UEM architecture. It consists of several subcomponents that are responsible for:

  • Logging, monitoring, reporting, and management functions
  • Authentication and authorization services for the BlackBerry UEM Core local directory and company directories
  • Scheduling and sending commands, IT policies, and profiles to devices

Microsoft Intune

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based EMM service that provides both MDM and MAM features. Intune MAM provides security features for apps such as Microsoft 365 that protect data within apps.

Microsoft Entra ID

Microsoft Entra ID is the Microsoft cloud computing service for deploying and managing apps and services.

Microsoft Graph API

The Microsoft Graph API connects the BlackBerry UEM MAM and Intune app protection profile to Intune and synchronizes the Microsoft Intune app protection profile settings to Intune. This is one-way synchronization from BlackBerry UEM to Intune.

Devices

The BlackBerry BRIDGE app is supported on iOS devices.
