Process flow: Enrolling a certificate using an RSA certification authority
After a BlackBerry® device receives an IT policy that includes a certification authority profile, the enrollment process can start
automatically or you can instruct a user to start it.

2. The BlackBerry device requests the user's distinguished name from the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server.
3. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server retrieves the user's distinguished name from the messaging server and sends the
distinguished name to the BlackBerry device.
4. The BlackBerry device encrypts the key pair, and stores the key pair, distinguished name, and profile ID for the certification
authority in the persistent store in flash memory.
5. The CA Profile Manager creates the PKCS #10 certificate request and signs it with the private key.
6. The BlackBerry device sends the certificate request and the name of the certification authority profile to the BlackBerry
MDS Connection Service.

• sends the certificate chain to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server if the certificate chain is in the BlackBerry MDS
