Installation guide

Specifying permissions when connecting to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server databases using

Windows authentication

During the installation process, if you connect the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, BlackBerry MDS Integration Service, and

BlackBerry Monitoring Service to the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server databases using Windows® authentication, the Windows

account that you specify must have database permissions on the database server. The type of permissions depends on the setup

option that you select, and whether you create the BlackBerry Enterprise Server databases on the same computer as the BlackBerry

Enterprise Server components or on another database server.

Specifying Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express permissions for the Windows account

If you install Microsoft® SQL Server® 2005 Express during the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation process, you do not

need to specify additional permissions. When you select Windows® authentication during the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

installation process, the setup application automatically assigns the required permissions to the Windows account that you use

to complete the installation process.

Assign Microsoft SQL Server permissions to the Windows account

Perform one of the following actions:

• If you create the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server databases on the same computer as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server

and require the setup application to install Microsoft® SQL Server® Express during the installation process, you do not

need to assign Microsoft SQL Server permissions to the Windows® account . If you want the setup application to install

the BlackBerry database notification system, assign the system administrator permission to the Windows account.

• If you create the BlackBerry Enterprise Server databases on the same computer as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and

the computer already hosts a Microsoft SQL Server, assign the database creator permission to the Windows account that

you use to complete the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process. If you want the setup application to install

the BlackBerry database notification system, also assign the system administrator permission to the Windows account.

• If you create the BlackBerry Enterprise Server databases on another computer, assign the database creator permission

to the Windows account that you want to use to complete the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation process.

Configuring authentication to the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database

When the setup application creates the BlackBerry® MDS Integration Service database during the installation process, you must

use the same authentication method and account that you specified for the BlackBerry Configuration Database. The BlackBerry

MDS Integration Service requires the same permissions to access the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service database that the

BlackBerry® Enterprise Server requires to access the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
