Feature Description

BlackBerry Administration Service The BlackBerry Administration Service is a web application that connects to the BlackBerry Configuration Database. You can use the BlackBerry Administration Service to manage the BlackBerry Domain, which includes user accounts and features that you can use to control BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry Domain consists of a single BlackBerry Configuration Database and all of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances that use it.

The BlackBerry Administration Service replaces the BlackBerry Manager as the administration console for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Enterprise Server components.

Release Notes

BlackBerry® Web Desktop Manager The BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager is a web application that permits users to manage their BlackBerry devices. For example, users can activate BlackBerry devices, back up and restore data, select messaging options, and synchronize data. The BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager includes the BlackBerry Device® Manager.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server high availability

BlackBerry Enterprise Server high availability consists of a minimum of two BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances and the BlackBerry Configuration Database replicated across two database servers. High availability is designed so that no single point of failure exists in the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution that could stop the messaging and application data flow to and from BlackBerry devices.

High availability for a distributed environment

If you install multiple BlackBerry Enterprise Server components on different computers to create a distributed environment, you can configure the components for high availability. High availability for a distributed component requires that you install two or more instances of the component in your organization's environment. When an instance stops responding, the other instances can take over.

Support for database mirroring If your organization uses Microsoft® SQL Server® 2005 SP2 or later, you can configure database mirroring. Database mirroring requires a principal database, mirror database, and, optionally, a witness. Although the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can contact the mirror database, it opens active connections to the principal database only. If the principal database stops responding, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server opens an active connection to the mirror database automatically. Database mirroring provides fault tolerance for the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution.

Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0 supports Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The setup application can install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition if your organization's environment does not already include a database server.

Support for IBM® Lotus® Domino® version 8.5 and IBM® Lotus Notes® version 8.5

BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0 supports Lotus Domino version 8.5 and Lotus Notes version 8.5.

Support for Windows Server® 2008 BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0 supports Windows Server 2008.

Enrolling certificates over the wireless network

You can configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to permit BlackBerry devices to enroll certificates over the wireless network. Permitting BlackBerry devices to enroll certificates is an alternative to instructing users to send the certificates to themselves in an email message or using the certificate synchronization tool in the BlackBerry® Desktop Software.

New method for installing and managing the BlackBerry Device Software and BlackBerry Java® Applications

You can use the BlackBerry Administration Service to install and manage the BlackBerry Device Software and BlackBerry Java Applications on BlackBerry devices.

In the BlackBerry Administration Service, you create software configurations to specify the versions of the BlackBerry Device Software and BlackBerry Java Applications that you want to install or update on BlackBerry devices, or remove from BlackBerry devices. You also use software configurations to specify which applications are required, optional, or not permitted on BlackBerry devices. When you create a software configuration, you must also specify whether users can install applications that are not listed in the software configuration on their BlackBerry devices.

When you add a BlackBerry Java Application to a software configuration, you must assign an application control policy to the application to specify what resources the application can access on BlackBerry devices. If you permit users to install unlisted applications, you must create an application control policy for unlisted applications that specifies what resources the applications can access on BlackBerry devices.

If you assign more than one software configuration to a user account, all of the settings in the multiple software configurations are applied to the BlackBerry device. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server resolves conflicting settings using predefined reconciliation rules and prioritized rankings that you can specify using the BlackBerry Administration Service.

For more information about installing and managing the BlackBerry Device Software on BlackBerry devices, visit www.blackberry.com/go/serverdocs to see the BlackBerry Device Software Update Guide.

BlackBerry MDS Application Console The BlackBerry MDS Application Console is a web administration console that you can use to manage BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications and BlackBerry® Browser Applications that reside in the BlackBerry MDS Application Repository. You can use the BlackBerry MDS Application Console to send requests to a BlackBerry MDS Integration Service to install or update BlackBerry MDS Runtime Applications and BlackBerry Browser Applications on BlackBerry devices, or to remove the applications from BlackBerry devices. You install the BlackBerry MDS Application Console when you install the BlackBerry MDS Integration Service.

The BlackBerry MDS Application Console supports BlackBerry MDS Integration Service version 5.0 or later.

Support for new BlackBerry Browser Applications

BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0 supports the following types of BlackBerry Browser Applications:

• browser channel push applications: An icon displays on the Home screen of BlackBerry devices to indicate whether users viewed the latest version of the web content that the Browser Push Engine pushed to the BlackBerry devices.

• browser cache push applications: The Browser Push Engine pushes web content to the cache of the BlackBerry Browser on BlackBerry devices. To view the web content, users browse to the appropriate web address using the BlackBerry Browser.

• browser message push applications: A message appears in the message list on BlackBerry devices to provide a link to new or updated web content.

For more information about developing and customizing BlackBerry Applications, visit www.blackberry.com/developers.

Follow-up flag on email messages Users with BlackBerry devices that are running BlackBerry Device Software version 5.0 or later can flag email messages on their BlackBerry devices and set reminder times.

Forward calendar entries Users with BlackBerry devices that are running BlackBerry Device Software version 5.0 or later can forward meeting invitations and calendar entries from their BlackBerry devices.

Manage personal folders Users with BlackBerry devices that are running BlackBerry Device Software version 5.0 or later can add, delete, move, and rename personal folders from their BlackBerry devices.

View and manage personal contact subfolders

Users with BlackBerry devices that are running BlackBerry Device Software version 5.0 or later can view personal contact subfolders on their BlackBerry devices and change contact information.

Users can specify which contact subfolders that they want to synchronize to their BlackBerry devices using the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager or BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager. You can limit the number of contact subfolders that users can synchronize to their BlackBerry devices.

View and use contacts in public folders Users with BlackBerry Device Software version 5.0 or later can view and use contacts in public folders from their BlackBerry devices, and copy the contacts to their contact lists. Users can only view the public folders that they have the appropriate permissions for.

Users can specify which public folders they want to synchronize to their BlackBerry devices using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager or BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager. You can limit the number of public folders that users can synchronize to their BlackBerry devices.

Encrypt email messages using Lotus Notes encryption on the BlackBerry device

You can configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to permit users to encrypt email messages using Lotus Notes encryption. When users create, forward, or reply to messages, they can indicate whether they want the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to encrypt the messages.

Support for Lotus Notes links In Lotus Notes, users can include document links, anchor links, view links, or database links (application links) in their email messages. BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0 supports Lotus Notes links in the email messages that users receive on their BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server retrieves the target information from the appropriate Lotus Domino server and converts it into HTTP format. In plain text messages, the link appears as a web address. In HTML messages, the link appears as an icon.

Users can click the HTTP links to view documents, folders, views, or database information in the BlackBerry Browser. If the target information is stored on a secure Lotus Domino server, the BlackBerry device might prompt users to type their login information after they click the link.

This feature is turned on by default.

For more information, visit www.blackberry.com/go/serverdocs to see the Support for IBM Lotus Notes Links on BlackBerry Devices document.

Attachment support for the .wma file format

The BlackBerry Attachment Service now supports the .wma audio file format.

New IT policy rules For information about new IT policy groups and IT policy rules, visit www.blackberry.com/go/serverdocs to see the Policy Reference Guide.

Changes to the BlackBerry Configuration Database schema

BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0 contains changes to the BlackBerry Configuration Database schema. The changes occur in the following files:

Fixed issuesKey issues

SDR 187260

SDR 170644

In previous versions of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, if the BlackBerry Enterprise Server experiences a timeout with the Microsoft SQL Server while you are moving a user to a different BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the user might not be moved to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server successfully.

In BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0, this issue is resolved.

SDR 176909 After upgrading to BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 4.1 SP5 or later and starting the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server might write incorrect information to the log files about a messaging server failover if the name of the messaging server obtained from the BlackBerry profiles database does not match the case of the name of the messaging server obtained from API calls.


BlackBerry Administration Service

SDR 213034

SDR 140695

In previous versions of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, if you turn off S/MIME message processing for a BlackBerry device using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server administration console, S/MIME message processing turns on for the BlackBerry device a short time later.


SDR 187251

SDR 150208

In previous versions of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, if the UNID of BlackBerry device users in the Lotus Domino directory changed (for example, users were accidentally deleted and restored in the directory by copying person documents from a backup into the directory), the BlackBerry Enterprise Server cannot find the users by their UNID. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server then searches for the users by name and might locate the wrong user. As a result, users may be associated with incorrect user accounts.


BlackBerry Attachment Service

SDR 280139 If you specify Japanese characters when searching for a user account using a BlackBerry device, the user's name is displayed incorrectly in the search results (for example, the characters are displayed as 4E0A or 4F0A).

Workaround

Do not use Japanese characters in the search criteria.

SDR 277907 In certain circumstances, a user’s contact list is rescanned multiple times during an activation, causing the activation process to take a long time.

SDR 270467 Synchronization over the wireless network can take a long time when processing contact lists with a large number of entries during the activation process.

SDR 267839 In certain circumstances, synchronization over the wireless network can take a long time for user accounts that have a large number of contact list entries (for example, over 5000 entries). The cache is rebuilt every time the synchronization process is run on the contact list while looking for duplicate entries, causing a decrease in performance.

SDR 264776 Setting the MaxPIMRecordTransfer registry entry to a specific value does not limit the number of contact list entries that can be synchronized to a BlackBerry device. All updated entries in the user's contact list are synchronized to the user's BlackBerry device.

SDR 250861 The BlackBerry Enterprise Server can take a longer time than expected to synchronize the contacts on users’ BlackBerry devices with the contacts in large iNotes contact lists over the wireless network.

Workaround

Increase the synchronization timeout to more than 200 minutes.

SDR 233223 In certain circumstances, a BlackBerry device stops responding or its performance is significantly diminished after wirelessly synchronizing monthly calendar events with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server if the ReapeatAdjust value in Lotus Notes contains a zero value entry.

SDR 148393 If you change the enterprise encryption algorithm from 3DES to 3DES and AES, and the Enterprise Service Policy is enabled, users' BlackBerry devices are deactivated. When the encryption algorithm changes, a new encryption key request is generated for all user accounts. If the Enterprise Service Policy is enabled when the encryption algorithm changes, and users' PIN numbers are not specified in the allowed user list, the user account is deactivated.

Setup application

SDR 311864 If you select Microsoft Active Directory on the Setup Option screen, and you select “Use Windows Authentication” on the Advanced Administration Settings screen, if you click Back on the DIIOP Settings screen, you cannot edit any settings on the Advanced Administration Settings screen.

SDR 310792 If the pool name for the BlackBerry Administration Service in a high availability configuration is the same as the FQDN of a computer in the BlackBerry Domain, traffic is routed to that computer only. The setup application uses the local computer’s FQDN as the default pool name.

Workaround

Do not use a computer’s FQDN as the pool name.

SDR 307301 The BlackBerry Enterprise Server setup application does not install Microsoft .NET if you do not choose to install a local Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. If Microsoft .NET is not installed, you cannot run traittool.exe.

Workaround

Run the setup application again. Select an existing BlackBerry MDS Integration Service pool and database and complete the installation.

SDR 281116 On the Administration Settings screen, the SSL password that you specify must contain a combination of letters and/or numbers, and cannot contain any of the following special characters: exclamation mark (!), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), percent sign (%), caret (^), comma (,), ampersand (&), equal sign (=), apostrophe (‘), quotation mark (“), semi-colon (;), chevrons (<>), vertical bar (|).

SDR 280876 If you configure your environment for high availability, the setup application permits you to install different instant messaging environments for the primary and standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances. This configuration is not supported by the BlackBerry Enteprise Server.

SDR 280151 When upgrading the primary BlackBerry Enterprise Server in a high availability environment that is running an evaluation version of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0 software, you must use the evaluation CAL key.

SDR 277912 If you use the setup application to remove a BlackBerry Monitoring Service that you installed on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the removal process does not complete successfully.

Workaround

Remove the BlackBerry Monitoring Service using Add or Remove Programs.

SDR 265332 When upgrading from BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 4.1 SP6 to BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0, in certain circumstances, conflicts can occur between the user entries in the ITPolicyKeyMapping and UserConfig database tables. These conflicts prevent the upgrade from completing successfully.

Workaround

Remove the following conflicting user entries from the ITPolicyKeyMapping table:

DELETE from ITPolicyKeyMapping WHERE UserConfigId NOT IN (SELECT UserConfig.Id FROM UserConfig)

SDR 257785 The setup application indicates that Lotus Domino is not installed when you install the BlackBerry Administration Service on a computer that is separate from the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

Workaround

Ignore the warning.

SDR 249701 If you install a BlackBerry Enterprise Server on the same computer as the BlackBerry Collaboration Service, and then you install another instance of the BlackBerry Collaboration Service on the same computer without starting the first BlackBerry Collaboration Service instance, the second BlackBerry Collaboration Service instance overwrites the information of the first BlackBerry Collaboration Service instance in the BlackBerry Configuration Database.

Both service license agreements remain in this folder.

Workaround

Delete the previous service license agreement.

SDR 298829 If you have a Microsoft SQL Server that has a BlackBerry Configuration Database (BESMgmt) that is earlier than version 5.0, and you run the setup application and create a new BlackBerry Configuration Database on the Microsoft SQL Server (for example, BESMgmt_50), you can choose to use an existing database if you run the setup application on a separate computer. If you select the wrong BlackBerry Configuration Database (for example, BESMgmt instead of BESMgmt_50) and select No when asked to confirm if you want to upgrade the database, then you change the database name (for example, to BESMgmt_50) and select Next, you are not prompted to upgrade the database, and the list of active servers contains the name of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server from the wrong BlackBerry Configuration Database.

Workaround

Close the setup application and run it again. Specify the correct BlackBerry Configuration Database name before clicking Next on the database information page.

SDR 297656 You cannot change the standby BlackBerry Enterprise Server field if you upgrade the wrong BlackBerry Configuration Database and return to the previous screen in the setup application to specify the correct BlackBerry Configuration Database.
