Feature Description
protocol connections You can define connections to the web servers on your organization’s intranet or
the Internet using standard Internet protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and
TCP/IP.
encrypted communications The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service encrypts content using the same
standard BlackBerry encryption that the BlackBerry Dispatcher uses to encrypt
messages and other data.
data conversion The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service converts data from application servers
and web servers to a format that BlackBerry Applications can interpret and
display.
data optimization The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service processes content that users can view
in the BlackBerry Browser. For example, the BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service can change the data format or remove extraneous data to reduce
network traffic.
authentication methods You can configure authentication requirements that match your organization's
sign-on scheme using standard methods such as NTLM, Kerberos, and LTPA.
You can also define a period of time after which the BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service requests user information and caches cookies.
You can use two-factor authentication to create VPN connections between
wireless applications on BlackBerry devices and your organization’s application
servers and web servers.
integration with proxy servers You can provide access to specific content through your organization's proxy
servers using the following items:
• proxy exclusion list, which defines the organization-specific URLs that the
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service uses to connect directly to external web
services instead of routing the connections through your organization's
proxy server
• proxy auto-configuration (.pac) file
access control You can configure push initiators and push rules that define which server-side
push applications can send application data and updates to BlackBerry devices,
and which users can receive push requests. You can configure pull rules to
specify which web servers users can access using the BlackBerry Browser and
other applications on
BlackBerry devices.
media content management You can control which media files users can receive and access using the
BlackBerry Browser and BlackBerry Applications. You can prevent users from
receiving specific media types (for example, video files) or specific subtypes of
media (for example, .mp3 files). You can also configure size limits for media files
that users can receive on their
BlackBerry devices.
