Configure
BEMS
connectivity with
BlackBerry Dynamics

The
BlackBerry Dynamics
server information in the following instructions refers to the FQDN of the server that hosts the
BlackBerry Proxy
or
Good Proxy
service. Complete this task to specify which
BlackBerry Proxy
or
Good Proxy
that the
Connect
service should use to complete processes (for example, authentication requests). You can specify the
BlackBerry Proxy
or
Good Proxy
server that the Connect service contacts first. When you specify the
BlackBerry Proxy
or
Good Proxy
, it forces
BEMS
to always communicate with this
BlackBerry Proxy
or
Good Proxy
server first. The Connect service uses the BlackBerry Proxy or Good Proxy server to create a list of
BlackBerry Proxy
or
Good Proxy
servers to use. If the
BlackBerry Proxy
or
Good Proxy
server that you specified in the
BEMS
Dashboard fails, then the Connect service contacts the next primary
BlackBerry Proxy
or
Good Proxy
server in the list.
In a
BlackBerry UEM
environment, the
BlackBerry Proxy
service is installed on on-premises
BlackBerry UEM
servers that have
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
. The
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
is required for some
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
deployments when they link a company directory to the
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
tenant and to offer on-premises connectivity to
BlackBerry Dynamics
users activated using the
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
. For more information about the
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
, see the
BlackBerry UEM
Planning content
.
In a
Good Control
environment, the
Good Proxy
can be installed on the same server as
Good Control
or a different server that doesn't run
Good Control
. For more information about the
Good Proxy
, see the Good Control installation content.
