Question : AD authentication and Blackberry Enterprise Server

Hi

We are currently running BES 4.1.7. We have users who need to access sites such as Sharepoint that use AD authentication.

At the moment, we have enabled HTTP Authentication, but there is still the initial prompt when they logon to the site using their BB devices.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get around this and have first time AD authentication that is pass through?

Thank you.

Please note I've not implemented this myself. I'm merely offering a possible solution..

As far as I'm aware, there's only 2 options you have here. Basic Authentication (always prompt) or it should be possible to install user certificates on the BB devices and use certificate authentication for access to the sharepoint server..
