Authentication

The application authenticates to the
BlackBerry Workspaces
server using either an email address or username password. In the case of email-based authentication, the server generates a deviceID value and sends a URL back to the device in an email addressed to the address it was given. The device uses this URL to authenticate the deviceID with the server and stores the deviceID in the application's secure container. This deviceID is used to request a unique secure session ID token (SSID) from the server; this token is used to authenticate the application to the server on each subsequent action.
