Configure LEAP authentication data for BlackBerry
devices using a Wi-Fi profile
If BlackBerry device users in your organization's environment use BlackBerry 7270 smartphones, you must configure user
names and passwords using IT policy rules instead of configuration settings.
Before you begin:
• Using the wireless access point, configure the LEAP settings to accept SSID association requests from users that have
the credentials that you specify or to identify the authentication server that the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices use to
verify user credentials. For more information, see the documentation for your organization's access points.
• Configure strong password policies if Wi-Fi network authentication uses LEAP authentication.
