Configuring the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to
authenticate devices to the RSA Authentication
Manager
You can configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to require that BlackBerry device users pass RSA
authentication when they access the Internet or intranet from BlackBerry devices. You can configure the BlackBerry MDS
Connection Service to require that users use RSA authentication in one of the following scenarios:
• when users access every web site and intranet site from devices
• when users access intranet sites from devices
• when users access web addresses or intranet addresses that you specify
If you configure the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to require that users use RSA authentication to access web
addresses or intranet addresses that you specify, you can choose to apply this option to specific user accounts or to all user
accounts that are associated with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance.
After the RSA Authentication Manager authenticates the devices, if you configured proxy authentication, the devices
prompt users to authenticate to the proxy server.
Prerequisites: Configuring the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to
support RSA authentication when the BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service runs on Windows Server 2008
• If required, remove the RSA Authentication Agent from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service.
• If required, in the RSA Authentication Manager, delete the node secret data for the computer that hosts the BlackBerry
MDS Connection Service.
• If required, delete the node secret data that is located on the computer that hosts the BlackBerry MDS Connection
Service.
• Retrieve the RSA Authentication API version 5.0.3.2 from RSA.

On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service, copy the
aceclnt.dll
file and
sdmsg.dll
file from
the RSA Authentication API to one of the following folders:
