Managing Bluetooth enabled BlackBerry devices
4
Using BlackBerry® Enterprise Server version 4.0 or later, you can set IT policy rules that are designed to control the behavior
of Bluetooth® enabled BlackBerry devices. For example, you can use IT policy rules to prevent users from performing the
following actions on their BlackBerry devices:
•
opening a Bluetooth connection with another Bluetooth enabled BlackBerry device, another Bluetooth enabled device,
or the BlackBerry® Desktop Software
•
turning on the discoverable mode option
•
setting the discoverable mode option to have no time limit
•
using the Bluetooth profiles that the BlackBerry devices support
•
using wireless bypass over a Bluetooth connection
•
exchanging files with supported Bluetooth OBEX devices
•
sending or receiving address book information over a Bluetooth connection
•
making calls over a Bluetooth connection
You can also use IT policy rules to require the following behavior on BlackBerry devices:
•
using Bluetooth encryption on all Bluetooth connections
•
using CHAP authentication on all Bluetooth serial connections to computers
•
flashing the LED light when connected to another Bluetooth enabled device
•
prompting users to type their BlackBerry device passwords to turn on Bluetooth support
•
prompting users to type their BlackBerry device passwords to turn on discoverable mode
Bluetooth technology security measures on BlackBerry devices
The following measures are designed to protect Bluetooth® enabled BlackBerry® devices.
Security measure
Benefit
BlackBerry devices support only seven of the available
Bluetooth profiles.
This measure limits the ways that BlackBerry devices are
vulnerable to attacks.
BlackBerry devices have limited support for the Bluetooth
SPP. This profile works only with the BlackBerry phone
application to provide voice capability using Bluetooth
enabled headsets and car kits. Even though BlackBerry
devices support the Bluetooth SPP for third-party
peripheral devices and application development, this profile
is not set up to work with other BlackBerry applications.
BlackBerry device users can control pairing requests. The
number of devices that users can pair with is limited.
