Configure the web proxy for the
Connect
 service

Complete this task if your organization uses a web proxy server to connect to the Internet. It is recommended to use the same web proxy server in the
Connect
 component as in the
BEMS-Core
 component. When you configure the web proxy, the
BEMS
Connect
 configuration file (GoodConnectServer.exe.config) updates the GD_APN_PROXY_HTTP_HOST and GD_APN_PROXY_HTTP_PORT parameters. For more information about the
BEMS
Connect
 configuration file, see Understanding the BEMS-Connect configuration file. 
  1. In the
    BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Server Dashboard
    , under
    BlackBerry Services Configuration
    , click
    Connect
    .
  2. If necessary, click
    Service Account
     and enter the
    BEMS
     service account credentials.
  3. Click
    Web Proxy
    .
  4. Select the
    Use Web Proxy
     checkbox.
  5. Type the proxy web address and port number.
  6. In the
    Proxy Authentication Type
     drop-down list, select one of the following authentication types:
    • Basic
       authentication requires a user name and password by the
      Connect
       service to authenticate a request.
    • Digest
       authentication is more secure because it applies a hash function to the password before sending it over the network.
    • None
      , if no authentication is required.
    If you specify an authentication type, the
    Connect
     service username and password are automatically populated based on the
    Windows
     domain service account you assigned to the
    Connect
     service under Configuring
    Windows
     Services.
  7. Optionally, specify a domain.
  8. Optionally, click
    Test
     to verify the connection to the web proxy.
