Configure the authentication of 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps in the DMZ

To authenticate 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps in the DMZ, you must configure your own TLS server certificate for 
Direct Connect
 from the 
BlackBerry UEM
 management console (
Settings
 > 
Infrastructure
 > 
Server certificates
 and select the 
BlackBerry Dynamics certificates
 tab). This allows the 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app to trust the TLS server certificate that will be used by the SSL bridging appliance to terminate the 
Direct Connect
 TLS connection.
Server certificate requirements
When you replace the 
Direct Connect
 certificate through the UEM management console (see Changing BlackBerry UEM certificates), the certificate file must include the entire certificate chain. You must provide the PKCS 12 file, which has the key-pair for the 
BlackBerry Proxy
 and the complete certificate chain ending in the root Certificate Authority (CA). These required root CA and Intermediate certificate authorities are then automatically sent to the 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 containers, while the full certificate chain is also sent to the 
BlackBerry Proxy
. You do not need to create a CA certificate profile to send to the 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app.
This is the server certificate that the SSL bridging appliance uses for the TLS connection to the 
BlackBerry Proxy
Client certificate requirements
To authenticate 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps in the DMZ, you must provide client certificates to the 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps from your enterprise certificate authority using one of the certificate distribution mechanisms supported by 
BlackBerry UEM
. You must also configure the load balancer to challenge the 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps to authenticate the TLS connection with the client certificates.
