    Policies and profiles
    .
  2. Click 
    Networks and connections > Proxy
    .

       or any of its components.
    3. On the 
      BlackBerry
       tab, perform the following actions:
      1. If your organization requires that users provide a username and password to connect to the proxy server and the profile is for multiple users, in the 
        Username
         field, type 
        %UserName%
        . If the proxy server requires the domain name for authentication, use the format 
        <domain>
        \
        <username>
        .
      2. In the 
        User can edit

      \
      <username>
      .
    5. On the 
      BlackBerry

        BlackBerry 10
         device users can change. The default setting is 
        Read only
        .
      2. Optionally, you can specify a list of addresses that users can access directly from their 
        BlackBerry 10
         devices without using the proxy server. In the 
        Exclusion list
         field, type the addresses (FQDN or IP) and use a semicolon (;) to separate the values in the list. You can use the wildcard character (*) in an FQDN or IP (for example, *.example.com or 192.0.2.*).
  7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each device type in your organization.
