Accessing Internet though an AD account

[rtfmtech]

Hello Everyone,

I have been searching around on this forum and trying to find anything on Google, but I cannot find the answer to this.

I have recently taken over the BES administration duty at my company. There is a change I was asked to make that I need help with.

As our system works right now, we have about 200 Blackberry devices that connect to our BES. For internet access they use an AD account on the BES. The account is used to authenticate though the Bluecoat proxy server. I am not exactly sure how this works, it could just be magic, haha.

Here is where the problem is, my management wants me to find a way to make it to where some of the Blackberries access the Internet via a different AD account (therefore having a different set of credentials to have different permissions on the Bluecoat proxy server.)

We are running BES 4.1 currently.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Using BES 4.1 the only way to point it at two different BES servers is for tweo different sites. You could use BluecoatA to access Microsoft Corporation and BluecoatB to access Google for example. You do this using proxy mappings.

The other way would be to removed the saved user name and password that the BES is currently using in the proxy mappings. Then each time someone tries to web browse via the Bluecoat they will need to enter their user name and password.

I hope this helps.
