Installation guide

has to the tables in the BlackBerry Configuration Database, you can configure a BlackBerry Attachment Service account
that has limited database permissions. This account is not the same as the account that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
uses to access the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
Before you begin:
• Create a Windows account for the BlackBerry Attachment Service.
• To use database authentication, create a SQL authentication account for the BlackBerry Attachment Service.
1. In the Microsoft SQL Server management console, create a SQL login for the Windows account or SQL authentication
account.
2. Assign the account to the rim_db_AttachmentServer role in the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
3. If you want the BlackBerry Attachment Service to use a SQL authentication account to access the BlackBerry
Configuration Database, perform the following actions:
a. On the computer that you installed the BlackBerry Attachment Service on, log in using the Windows account
that the BlackBerry Attachment Service is running on.
b. Click Start > Run.
c. Type regedit. Click OK.
d. If you are running a 32-bit version of Windows, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Research In
Motion.
e. If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE
\WOW6432Node\Research In Motion.
f. Create the BBAttachServer\Database keys.
g. In the Database key, create the Login and Password string values for the SQL authentication account.
After you finish: After you complete the BlackBerry Attachment Service installation process, in the Windows Services,
verify that the service for the BlackBerry Attachment Service is using the Windows account that you configured. If you need
to change the account information, restart the BlackBerry Attachment Service.
Configuring minimum Microsoft SQL Server
permissions for the Windows account
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server setup application requires the Windows account that it uses during the installation
process or upgrade process to have
Microsoft SQL Server permissions to create or upgrade the BlackBerry Configuration
Database. The setup application requires the Windows account to have more Microsoft SQL Server permissions to install
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server requires to run.
