Configuring a messaging environment

Configure a group for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

You must configure a group named BlackBerryAdmins in your organization's messaging environment. The BlackBerryAdmins

group includes permissions that the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server can use to access specific databases. You can administer the

BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the BlackBerry Administration Service only with the groups and user accounts that you include

in the BlackBerryAdmins group.

Before you begin: Verify that the LocalDomainServers group includes the computer you want to install the BlackBerry Enterprise

Server on.

1. On a computer that hosts the IBM® Lotus® Domino® administration console, in the administration server directory, create

an IBM Lotus Domino group with the following attributes:

• Name: BlackBerryAdmins

• Group type: Access Control List only

• Description: Users who can add, delete, and change settings for BlackBerry device users

• Members: LocalDomainServers, any groups or users who might administer the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

2. On the server that you want to install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server on, replicate the BlackBerryAdmins group in the IBM

Lotus Domino Directory.

Configure the Server document to permit the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to move user

accounts within a BlackBerry Domain

You must configure the Server document so that you can move user accounts between BlackBerry® Enterprise Server instances

in your organization's BlackBerry Domain.

1. On a computer that hosts the IBM® Lotus® Domino® administration console, open the Server document for the IBM Lotus

Domino server that you want to install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server on.

2. In the Run unrestricted methods and operations field, add the LocalDomainServers group.

Configuring connections for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server databases

The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, BlackBerry Monitoring Service, and BlackBerry MDS Integration Service store data in their

own databases. The database for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is named the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
