BlackBerry Proxy
 web proxy server configuration

The default configuration for
BlackBerry Proxy
 servers has no web proxy server configuration applied. In this configuration, each
BlackBerry Proxy
 server attempts to connect directly to the Internet to make connections. This applies to both app server traffic and to
BlackBerry Dynamics NOC
 connections.
In the
BlackBerry Dynamics
 connectivity profile, you can specify the servers that
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps are allowed to access through the firewall using
BlackBerry Proxy
.
Routing traffic through
BlackBerry Proxy
 has the following benefits:
  • Web browsers and
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     apps on devices can connect to any server behind the firewall that is reachable by
    BlackBerry Proxy
    .
  • You can easily monitor data traffic between
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     apps and your resources.
For apps developed with the
BlackBerry Dynamics
 SDK version 6.0 and later, you can specify the
BlackBerry Proxy
 clusters that data must route through.
If you have
BlackBerry UEM
 in an on-premises environment, for apps developed with a version of the
BlackBerry Dynamics
 SDK earlier than 6.0, you select the Route all traffic option to route all
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app data, regardless of domain or subnet, through
BlackBerry Proxy
.
You should be aware of the following considerations when you route data through
BlackBerry Proxy
:
  • Establishing connections to servers on the Internet can take longer.
  • If you are using a web proxy to allow access to external sites and have settings configured in your proxy to restrict certain sites, when you select the Route all traffic option, you also need to set the proxy properties in
    BlackBerry Proxy
    . Otherwise, apps will not be able to access external sites. For more information on configuring
    BlackBerry Proxy
     settings, see the on-premises Configuration content or the Cloud Configuration content.
  • BlackBerry Access
     can be configured with a PAC file that determines allowable sites. In this case, the PAC file determines the proxy settings. For more information, see the BlackBerry Access Administration Guide.
