BlackBerry Mobile Data System 10
Feature Description
Web access
control
System administrators control wireless access to resources on the corporate network.
• Network authentication: The connection service supports several types of network
authentication, including HTTP Basic Authentication, NT LAN Manager (NTLM), and
Kerberos, so system administrators can control wireless access to web content using
existing network security mechanisms. The connection service also supports
Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) if cookie storage is enabled.
• Access control: System administrators can assign roles to BlackBerry devices and push
initiators to control their activity through the connection service. Push access control
roles enable system administrators to limit push requests from push initiators to specific
BlackBerry device users. Pull access control roles enable system administrators to
permit or deny access to URLs that are requested by BlackBerry device users.
Pushing content to the BlackBerry Browser
The BlackBerry Browser provides built-in support for various types of push services, which provide different
notification options when the BlackBerry device receives pushed content. Each push service uses the same push
mechanism through the connection service.
Browser messages
Applications can send web pages or alerts to the BlackBerry device so that they appear as browser message in
the BlackBerry device messages list. The browser message includes the content to display or the URL of the page
to fetch when the user requests it. This push method is useful for alerts to important information updates. Users
set notification settings through the BlackBerry device profiles list.
Browser message from a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system
Browser channels
Applications can push web pages to the BlackBerry device that create or update channels, which appear on the
BlackBerry device Home screen with a custom icon. An updated icon appears when new content is available. This
push service type effectively creates a browser-based application on the BlackBerry device that enables users to
receive updates to certain types of data. A browser channel is an effective way to place a permanent icon on the
Home screen that acts like a browser bookmark to important content.

Browser cache updates
Applications can push web pages directly to the browser cache. The user receives no indication that the content
is updated, but the next time that the user visits the specified URL, the browser retrieves the updated content
