Change the default settings for
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
instances

By default, the
BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service
in each
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
instance is active. If you want gatekeeping data to be managed only by the
BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service
that is installed with the primary
BlackBerry UEM
components, you can change the default behavior to disable the
BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service
in each instance. You can specify the default logging settings for all
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
instances. You can also enable the
BlackBerry Secure Gateway
settings for all
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
instances and specify the discovery endpoint and mail server resource that

iOS
13.0 or later must use to authenticate to
Microsoft Exchange Online

The default settings apply to each
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
