Continue to Step 2 – Pre-installation Tasks

 

Pre-installation Tasks


 

To successfully complete a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation, you must complete the following pre-installation tasks:


 

  • The messaging server that will host the BlackBerry Enterprise Server must have a fully functioning IBM® Lotus® Domino® Server already installed and should have been connected to the intranet (internal network) at least once
  • Ensure that your computer has Microsoft® Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 with Security Patch MS04-003, 2.8 Service Pack 1 or 2.8 Service Pack 2 installed. Go to the MDAC Download Center
  • If you are using Lotus Sametime® Enterprise Instant Messaging Service, ensure that you are installing version 4.1 or later of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software. Add the IP address of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to the Trusted IPs field of stconfig.nsf on the Sametime Server. See the BlackBerry Technical Solution Center article KB04928 (Optional)

Continue to Step 3 – Begin Your Install

 

Add a User Account to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server


When you add a user account to the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, the messaging environment must meet the following requirements to support user accounts that reside in different locations in your messaging environment:

User location Messaging environment requirements
The user account resides on the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server. In this instance, this server is not the same as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The IBM Lotus Domino server must have a replica (central directory) of the primary IBM Lotus Domino Directory.
The user account resides on an IBM Lotus Domino Directory server in the same IBM Lotus Domino domain. In this instance, this server is the same as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The Domino server should have the Manager role and delete documents permission to the user’s mail file.
The user account resides on an IBM Lotus Domino administration server in a different IBM Lotus Domino domain. Establish cross-certification in the primary IBM Lotus Domino Directory to access the foreign directory server and configure the Access Control List to enable the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to access the primary IBM Lotus Domino Directory.

The IBM Lotus Domino administration server must be a directory server and have a network connection that can handle the load created by the address lookups that users perform on BlackBerry® smartphones.

Other considerations include the following:


  • If you use central directory server architecture in IBM Lotus Domino R6, the server from which you add the user account must have a replica of the primary IBM Lotus Domino Directory
  • You may add a user account to only one BlackBerry Enterprise Server at a time

Easy steps to add a user account


  1. In the BlackBerry Manager, in the left pane, click a BlackBerry Enterprise Server
  1. On the Server Configuration tab, click Common
  1. Click Add Users. Perform one of the following actions:
Action Procedure
