Configuring the LDAP information for the BlackBerry Administration Service
The BlackBerry® Administration Service requires access to the LDAP server so that the BlackBerry Administration Service can
read user information in Microsoft® Active Directory® when it authenticates the BlackBerry® Web Desktop Manager users. To
access the LDAP server, the BlackBerry Administration Service requires the URL of the LDAP server, the search base to find where
the user accounts are stored, and the administrator's LDAP credentials.
During the installation process and upgrade process, the setup application populates the LDAP information automatically. You
must verify this information to ensure that it reflects the requirements of the BlackBerry Administration Service.
Configure permissions for the administrator account on the LDAP server that the BlackBerry
Administration Service uses
To authenticate a user account, you must configure permissions for an adminstrator account on the LDAP server so that the
BlackBerry® Administration Service can read LDAP attributes in the Microsoft® Active Directory®.
Before you begin: Create an administrator account for the BlackBerry Administration Service.
1. In Microsoft Active Directory, in the search base container and all subcontainers that user accounts are located in, add the
following permissions to the administrator account:
• for containers, the List Contents permission
• for user objects, the Read All Properties permission
2. Configure the administrator account so that the account has the correct permission to read the attributes of the crossRef
objects that represent domains in the Partitions container of the Microsoft Active Directory configuration partition.
