Messaging server Description
A user who activates a BlackBerry device when the device is connected to a
computer can encrypt data that is in transit between the Domino server and a
Notes Inbox.
For more information, see the online help for Domino.
Microsoft Exchange The BlackBerry Enterprise Server and Microsoft Exchange Server can
communicate using Microsoft Exchange Web Services or the Microsoft
Exchange Server RPC protocol over a MAPI connection.
When the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and Microsoft Exchange Server
communicate using Microsoft Exchange Web Services they use an SSL
connection.
A user can use 128-bit encryption to encrypt RPC communication over the MAPI
connection between the Microsoft Exchange server and Microsoft Outlook. For
more information about turning on encryption, see the documentation for
Microsoft Exchange
.
Novell GroupWise The BlackBerry Enterprise Server is designed to use a trusted application key to
open a connection to the Novell GroupWise server. To generate the trusted
application key, an administrator of Novell GroupWise runs the trusted
application key generator, specifies the location of the primary domain of Novell
GroupWise
, and specifies the application name that the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server
can use to connect to the Novell GroupWise server. The trusted
application key is a 64-byte ASCII string.
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server connects to a user’s mailbox in a highly secure
manner using the trusted application key. The Novell GroupWise server verifies
the trusted application key and permits the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server to
open a connection to the Novell GroupWise database for the user.
