BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
The BlackBerry® MDS Connection Service connects wireless applications on BlackBerry devices to the applications on an
organization’s application servers or web servers. After a wireless application is installed on BlackBerry devices, the application
can receive data from push applications that are located on application servers or web servers. The application can also receive
data by sending pull requests from BlackBerry devices to applications that are located on application servers or web servers. The
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service processes push and pull requests and delivers data and updates to BlackBerry Applications.
The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service also receives and responds to web requests from the BlackBerry® Browser and other
BlackBerry Applications, so that users can view Internet and intranet content on their BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry MDS
Connection Service sends login requests and requests for instant messaging sessions from BlackBerry devices to the BlackBerry
Collaboration Service. If you stop the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service, you also stop the BlackBerry Collaboration Service.
Feature Description
protocol connections You can define connections to the web servers on your organization’s intranet or
the Internet using standard Internet protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP/IP.
encrypted communications The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service encrypts content using the same standard
BlackBerry encryption that the BlackBerry Dispatcher uses to encrypt messages
and other data.
data conversion The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service converts data from application servers and
web servers to a format that BlackBerry Applications can interpret and display.
data optimization The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service processes content that users can view in
the BlackBerry Browser. For example, the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service can
change the data format or remove extraneous data to reduce network traffic.
authentication methods You can configure authentication requirements that match your organization's
sign-on scheme using standard methods such as NTLM, Kerberos™, and LTPA. You
can also define a period of time after which the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
requests user information and caches cookies.
