I am trying to get our BB's to go through our company proxy. I must be doing something wrong as I cannot get it to work.
We are using v5.0.3.31 for Lotus Notes.
Under the MDS instance I have filled out the Proxy Mappings as follows:
URL - htt p://.* (Sorry about the space but the forums will not let me post a URL yet)
Proxy item - PROXY x.x.x.x:8080
Proxy String - x.x.x.x:8080
Proxy Type - PROXY
A username and password is entered.
When testing this on mine and my colleagues BB I seem to go straight out through the internet. If I go to sites that should be banned by our Proxy I can get to this sites fine from the BB (This idicated to me that it isn't going through our proxy).
Is there anthing else that I should be configuring for this to work? Anything wrong with the above settings?
Is internet traffic properly proxied when using the same settings you added to MDS-CS using IE on the BES server? Also read this to enforce traffic through Blackberry Browser. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15242
I have disabled the IBS via the IT policies and this seems to have worked. Everything seems to be going through the proxy now and sites that should be banned are not accessible.
One thing, internet access does seem to be a fair bit slower now it is going through our proxy. Is this the norm?
