Identifying 
BlackBerry Access
 in user agent

When a 
BlackBerry Access
 user visits a website, 
BlackBerry Access
 sends its user agent string to the server that hosts the website. The user agent string contains tokens that provide information, such as the browser description, operating system, and current browser mode, in the HTTP request headers. The website server may use this information in the user agent string to provide content tailored to mobile browsers. 
The user agent string does not include any identifiable tokens to indicate that the browser is 
BlackBerry Access
. To add "GoodAccess" or "Good Access" and the version information of the 
BlackBerry Access
 app to the user agent string, enable the "Identify 
BlackBerry Access
 in User Agent" setting on the General tab of the 
BlackBerry Access
 app config in 
BlackBerry UEM
 or in the App Specific Policy of the assigned Policy Set in 
Good Control
.
The following are examples of user agent strings when the setting is not enabled:
