VPN solution on the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device
The Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device has a built-in VPN client that supports several VPN concentrators. Visit
www.blackberry.com/products/wlan/sys_req.shtml
for a list of currently supported VPN concentrators.
If the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device has a VPN profile, it logs into the VPN concentrator automatically after
connecting to the enterprise Wi-Fi network. To create a VPN profile, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
administrator must configure the VPN client settings (for example, the IP address of the VPN concentrator, user
names and passwords, and cryptographic methods to be used) on the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device, or on the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server using IT policy rules. Depending on the security policy of your organization, the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrator or the BlackBerry device user can save each user name and password
to the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device to prevent the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device from prompting the user
for credentials the first time (or each time) that the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device connects to the enterprise
Wi-Fi network.
The Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device is also compatible with VPN environments that use two-factor
authentication using hard tokens or software tokens for user credentials. When the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry
device tries to log into the VPN, the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry device uses automatically generated or user-
provided credentials with the hard token or software token.
Appendix I: Algorithm suites that the BlackBerry device supports for
negotiating SSL connections
Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices support the following direct mode TLS algorithm suites for negotiating SSL
connections to the BlackBerry Infrastructure.
