Component name
Description
BlackBerry UEM Core
The
BlackBerry UEM Core
is the central component of the
BlackBerry UEM
architecture. It consists of several subcomponents that are responsible for:
  • Logging, monitoring, reporting, and management functions
  • Authentication and authorization services
  • Scheduling and sending commands, IT policies, and profiles to devices
BlackBerry UEM
database
The
BlackBerry UEM
database is a relational database that contains user account information and configuration information that
BlackBerry UEM
uses to manage devices.
BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service
The
BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service
sends commands to
Exchange ActiveSync
to add devices to an allowed list when devices are activated on
BlackBerry UEM
. Unmanaged devices that try to connect to an organization's mail server can be reviewed, verified, and blocked or allowed by an administrator using the
BlackBerry UEM
management console.
Management console and
UEM Self-Service
The management console and
UEM Self-Service
provide a browser-based user interface for administrator and user access to
BlackBerry UEM
.
You use the management console to manage system settings, users, devices, and apps.
Users can use
UEM Self-Service
to set an activation password and send commands to devices, such as set password, lock device, and delete device data.
Mail, content, or application servers
Your internal network includes various services that devices and
BlackBerry UEM
can communicate with.
If you are activating
Samsung Knox
devices using
Android Enterprise
activation types, you require a server that contains the
BlackBerry UEM Client
.apk file and a PAC file that prevents devices from attempting to connect to
Google Play
during activation.
Samsung
KLM license server
If you are managing
Samsung Knox
devices, an on-premises
Samsung Knox
License Management server is installed with
BlackBerry UEM
for dark sites so that
BlackBerry UEM
doesn't have to connect to the web-based
Samsung Knox
License Management System to get license information.
Samsung Knox
devices communicate with the KLM server using your work
Wi-Fi
network.
APNs
To manage
iOS
devices,
BlackBerry UEM
must send notifications to devices through an APNs server. When devices receive a notification from APNs, they contact
BlackBerry UEM
for updates.
For information about securing connections to APNs or possible alternatives to using the public APNs, contact your
Apple
support representative.
