About Installation
Install the Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server on a dedicated machine in
your network.
For System Requirements, see “Server Requirements” on page 21 and “Network
Requirements” on page 24.
Configure Google Apps Domain
Before you install the Google Apps Connector, prepare your Google Apps domain to work with
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. This includes confirming the Google Apps Sync setting,
enabling the Provisioning API and Two-legged OAuth, and creating a user in Google Apps for
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
The Email Service Setting for Google Apps Sync is required to support the Google Apps
Connector. By default, this feature is enabled.
The Provisioning API is a feature in Google Apps. The Provisioning API allows other programs
such as the Google Apps Connector to read Google Apps account data.
OAuth is an open protocol to allow secure API authorization in a simple and standard method
from desktop and web applications. The protocol is described at the OAuth website at
http://
oauth.net
.
The user account created in your Google Apps domain is used by the Google Apps Connector
and BlackBerry Enterprise Server. BlackBerry Enterprise Server will use this account to send
e-mails based on the different admin functions available in the BlackBerry Manager
application. This user does not require administrator access with in your Google Apps domain.
