Installing the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

The

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

allows you to create a secure connection between

Cylance Endpoint Security

and an on-premises

Microsoft Active Directory

or LDAP directory.

Cylance Endpoint Security

can synchronize users and groups from

Active Directory

. Users created through directory synchronization can be enabled for the

BlackBerry Protect

app and for

CylanceGATEWAY

.

You can install one or more instances of the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

to provide redundancy. Each instance must be installed on a dedicated computer. If you have more than one

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

, you must upgrade them all to the same software release. After you upgrade the first instance, directory services are disabled until all instances are upgraded to the same version.

You can configure one or more directory connections, but if you have multiple instances of the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

, all of the directory connections must be configured identically in every instance. If one directory connection is missing or incorrectly configured, that

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

will appear as disabled in the management console.

You don't need to install the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

to synchronize with

Microsoft Azure

Active Directory

. For more information, see "Configure Cylance Endpoint Security to synchronize with Azure Active Directory."

To install the

BlackBerry Connectivity Node

, perform the following actions.
