Deploying to BlackBerry devices

Deployment using OMA DM:

Not supported by BlackBerry devices.

Deployment using SMS/WAP push:

Only SMS push is supported. When the client is provisioned to the device, the DME server stamps the server path and the device phone number into the .JAD file which is downloaded to the device. WAP push is not recommended.

Certificates:

Soliton Systems recommends using an SSL certificate from a commercial certificate authority, such as VeriSign. BlackBerry devices are usually not allowed to connect to untrusted sites over the MDS-CS. If you choose to use the self-signed certificate, please refer to the Research In Motion documentation or your BlackBerry partner for information about adding the self-signed certificate to the MDS-CS server or adding a direct internet connection for the BlackBerry devices.

Other modes of deployment:

• BES installation: You can install DME using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) using the DME COD and ALX files. When done this way, the installation of the DME client is completely transparent to the users because device permissions can be set by the BES. See the documentation supplied by Research In Motion Limited for more information.
• Ad-hoc installation (see Ad-hoc installation).
