Configuring
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
to communicate with an on-premises
BEMS

You can configure an on-premises
BEMS
to communicate with the
BlackBerry Proxy
to authenticate GDAuth tokens in a
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
environment. When you configure your environment with an on-premises
BEMS
, you allow
iOS
and
Android
users to use the
BEMS-Connect
,
BEMS-Presence
, and
BEMS-Docs
services, in addition to the email notifications and
BEMS-Docs
service for
BlackBerry Work
.
If your environment requires users to access File Shares or CMIS-based repositories, configure
BEMS-Docs
in an on-premises
BEMS
. Enabling
BEMS-Docs
in
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
and in an on-premises
BEMS
in a
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
environment is not supported. You can configure
BEMS
with only one on-premises
BlackBerry UEM
or
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
environment at a time.
When you configure
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
to communicate with on-premises
BEMS
, you perform the following actions. Note that some of the actions might have already been completed when you configured
