Configure access to WebRTC-based destinations

You can configure
BlackBerry Access for macOS
  and
BlackBerry Access for Windows
 to allow communication using WebRTC protocol-based web clients such as
Citrix
 VDI browser-based access.
To allow
Windows
 users to share their screens, ensure that the
BlackBerry Dynamics
 policy in
BlackBerry UEM
 allows screen captures.
WebRTC traffic can often have high bandwidth demands. For this reason,
BlackBerry
 recommends routing this traffic directly.
Route WebRTC traffic directly
If the WebRTC destination is accessible directly over the internet, use the following routing configuration:
  • On the
    Security
     tab of the
    BlackBerry Access
     app configuration policy, clear the
    Enforce Strict Tunnel
     checkbox to disable strict tunnel.
  • Optionally, for improved performance, you can enable UDP protocol support. On the
    BlackBerry Access (Mac and Win)
     tab of the
    BlackBerry Access
     app configuration policy, select the
    Enable UDP Protocol support
     checkbox.
  • Configure the
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     Connectivity profile to route traffic directly to the WebRTC destination, as follows: Add the WebRTC destination URL to the
    Additional servers
     section and specify
    Direct connectivity
    . This allows the connection to route directly even if the default route is set to use a
    BlackBerry Proxy
     cluster.
    The
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     Connectivity profile and strict tunnel configuration have no effect on UDP connections. UDP connections route directly to the WebRTC destination through the local internet connection.
Route WebRTC traffic through BlackBerry Proxy
If the WebRTC destination is not directly accessible over the internet, or the traffic is required to route through a
BlackBerry Proxy
 cluster, take the following items into consideration:
  • To route WebRTC traffic through
    BlackBerry Proxy
     clusters, all
    BlackBerry Proxy
     clusters must be configured to use Direct Connect. For more information, see the Direct Connect content.
    If you do not configure the
    BlackBerry Proxy
     clusters with Direct Connect, the WebRTC destination does not load. For more information, visit support.blackberry.com/community to read article 62766.
  • Ensure that enough
    BlackBerry Proxy
     servers are installed to handle the load generated by the WebRTC traffic.
  • This configuration supports only TCP-based WebRTC connections.
    BlackBerry Proxy
     servers support only TCP protocol.
