Users cannot access web content on their BlackBerry devices until you permit the users to access specific web servers
using pull rules.
After you finish:
To permit users to access specific web servers, specify allowed web address patterns and assign the web
address patterns to a pull rule, and assign the pull rule to a user account or group.
Specify web address patterns
You can create pull rules that specify which web address patterns users can and cannot use to access web servers from the
BlackBerry Browser and other applications on their BlackBerry devices. To create a pull rule, you must first specify web
address patterns (for example, specify addresses with domains that are allowed). You can assign the web address patterns
to a pull rule that you create, and specify whether access to web servers that match the web address patterns is permitted
or restricted on BlackBerry devices. After you create a pull rule, you must assign it to user accounts or groups.
A web site that uses DNS load balancing returns a single IP address to the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service but might
use multiple IP addresses to provide access to the web site. As a result, the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service might not
be able to restrict BlackBerry devices from accessing the web site.
