Using Mobile Admin with BlackBerry smartphones


This section provides information about how Mobile Admin works on your network with BlackBerry smartphones. Mobile Admin architecture with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server Figure 1-1 shows how Mobile Admin connects your wireless device to your network if you are using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The Mobile Admin Server is connected to the servers and computers that you want to manage with Mobile Admin. Information about these servers and computers is sent through the Mobile Admin Server to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server encrypts the data with Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and sends it over the Internet and the wireless network to the BlackBerry smartphone. The BlackBerry smartphone decrypts the data so that it can be viewed using the Mobile Admin Client. Similarly, Mobile Admin Client commands from the BlackBerry smartphone are encrypted then sent over the wireless network and the Internet to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server decrypts the commands and sends

them to the Mobile Admin Server, which then further decrypts the commands if required, and then performs the requested actions. You can also configure Mobile Admin to connect with HyperText Transport Protocol Secured (HTTPS), which encrypts all data with Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol before it is transmitted between the Mobile Admin Server and the BlackBerry smartphones.

Note

Figure 1-1 shows the Mobile Admin Server and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed on separate computers. However, the Mobile Admin Server can be installed on the same computer as the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Mobile Admin architecture without a BlackBerry Enterprise Server Figure 1-2 shows how Mobile Admin connects your wireless device to your network if you are not using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The Mobile Admin Server is connected to the servers and computers that you want to manage with Mobile Admin. If you configure Mobile Admin to connect to your network with HTTPS, then the Mobile Admin Server encrypts the data and sends it over the Internet and the wireless network to the BlackBerry smartphone. The BlackBerry smartphone decrypts the data so that it can be viewed using the Mobile Admin Client. Similarly, Mobile Admin Client commands from the BlackBerry smartphone are encrypted with HTTPS, and then sent over the wireless network and the Internet. The Mobile Admin Server decrypts the commands if required, and then performs the requested actions

Tip

If you are not using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, it is strongly recommended that you configure Mobile Admin to use HTTPS.

Mobile Admin security with a BlackBerry There are two types of security available for Mobile Admin: Authentication includes a choice of Microsoft Windows user name and password, or Mobile Admin password, or LDAP password as an initial mandatory authentication; BlackBerry smartphone password (optional), and RSA SecurID or RADIUS authentication (optional) Encryption Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) if you are using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and HyperText Transport Protocol - Secured (HTTPS) (optional)

Mandatory authentication You can choose what kinds of authentication are required to

access Mobile Admin. If you select Windows authentication, then administrative access to servers is identical to the Windows user permission and authentication settings for your network. For example, if you are configured to have administrative access to specific servers or services in your network, you will only have administrative access to those servers and services in Mobile Admin. You must always provide your Windows network login name and password to login to Mobile Admin. The Mobile Admin Server can be configured to require a network login every time you open the Mobile Admin Client, or after a time-out interval that you specify.
BlackBerry smartphone password authentication The BlackBerry smartphone

password provides device-level authentication. When the smartphone password feature is enabled on your BlackBerry, you must enter a password before you can use the BlackBerry smartphone.
RSA SecurID authentication Mobile Admin has been officially approved as an RSA-

Certified application. This option requires you to log in using your SecurID token and your secret PIN before using Mobile Admin. For more information about using RSA SecurID Authentication, see www.rsasecurity.com.

Introduction to Mobile Admin Using Mobile Admin with Windows Mobile, Android and Apple devices

RADIUS authentication Mobile Admin supports RADIUS authentication, which means that Mobile Admin can act as a RADIUS client or RADIUS device for whatever type of RADIUS server and authentication system you are using, such as SafeWord. TDES/AES encryption All data sent between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the BlackBerry are encrypted using TDES or AES. The US Government has certified TDES and AES as compliant with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Additionally, if a BlackBerry smartphone is lost, you can use the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or the Mobile Admin application on another device to kill it remotely, a process that disables and erases the Mobile Admin application. HTTPS encryption Mobile Admin offers the option of adding HTTPS encryption to all data sent between the Mobile Admin Server and Mobile Admin Clients. This option is highly recommended for users who decide to use Mobile Admin without a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Note

For information about how to install Mobile Admin on a BlackBerry, see Installing the Mobile Admin Client software on a BlackBerry smartphone on page 9.

Using Mobile Admin with Windows Mobile, Android and Apple devices
This section provides information about how Mobile Admin works on your network with your Windows Mobile, Android and Apple wireless devices. Mobile Admin architecture Figure 1-3 shows how Mobile Admin connects your wireless device to your network. The Mobile Admin Server is connected to the servers and computers that you want to manage with Mobile Admin, preferably through a Virtual Private Network (VPN), which encrypts network data. If you configure Mobile Admin to use HTTPS, then the Mobile Admin Server encrypts the data and sends it over the Internet and the wireless network to the wireless device. The Mobile Admin Client decrypts the data on the wireless device so that it can be viewed. Similarly, Mobile Admin Client commands from the wireless device can be encrypted with HTTPS then sent over the wireless network and the Internet. The Mobile Admin Server decrypts the commands if required, and then performs the requested actions
Tip

If you are not using a VPN, it is strongly recommended that you configure Mobile Admin to use HTTPS.

Mobile Admin security with a Windows Mobile/Android/Apple wireless device There are two types of security available for Mobile Admin: Authentication Microsoft Windows user name and password (required), device password (optional), and RSA SecurID authentication (optional) Encryption HyperText Transport Protocol - Secured (HTTPS) (optional) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) encryption (optional)

Windows authentication Administrative access to servers is fully integrated with the Windows security settings for your network. If you are configured to have administrative access to specific servers or services in your network, you will only have administrative access to those servers and services in Mobile Admin. You must always provide your Windows network login name and password to log into Mobile Admin. The Mobile Admin Server can be configured to require a network login every time you open the Mobile Admin Client, or after a time-out interval that you specify. Device password authentication Most wireless devices and phones provide optional

device-level authentication. When the device password feature is enabled, you must enter a password before you can use the device and Mobile Admin.
RSA SecurID authentication Mobile Admin has been officially approved as an RSA-

Certified application. This option requires you to log in using your SecurID token and your secret PIN before using Mobile Admin. For more information about using RSA SecurID Authentication, see www.rsasecurity.com.
HTTPS encryption Mobile Admin offers the option of using HTTPS encryption for all data sent between the Mobile Admin Server and Mobile Admin Client. Tip

If you are not using a VPN, it is strongly recommended that you configure Mobile Admin to use HTTPS.

Connecting with RDP/VNC


This chapter provides information about how to connect to a computer with RDP/VNC from Mobile Admin.
Note Note

RDP connections are not supported on Windows Mobile devices. VNC connections are not supported on iPhone/iPod Touch devices.

About RDP/VNC
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a communications protocol that allows you to connect securely to any server that is running Terminal Services or Remote Desktop. Mobile Admin acts as a Terminal Services or Remote Desktop client on your wireless device and to process keyboard and mouse data from the remote server. VNC is a client-server protocol. A VNC client connects to a VNC server to receive screen updates and to process keyboard and mouse movements. For VNC connections, Mobile Admin acts as a VNC client on your wireless device. Mobile Admin allows you to use your wireless device to view and control the desktop of any server, provided the following conditions are met: the server is running Microsoft Terminal Services (on Windows 2000 or 2003) or Microsoft Remote Desktop (on Windows XP); or the computer has a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server installed you have permission to access the server

RDP/VNC security
Mobile Admin supports several RDP/VNC security options. Security with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server If you are using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, all data sent between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the BlackBerry smartphones is encrypted with TDES or AES. This applies to both Terminal Services or Remote Desktop and VNC connections. Security for Terminal Services and Remote Desktop connections Microsoft Terminal Services and Remote Desktop connections are always secured through the use of RC4 encryption. In some cases, you may need to configure a computers firewall to connect with RDP.

Connecting with RDP/VNC Preparing for RDP/VNC connections

Preparing for RDP/VNC connections


Prior to connecting with RDP/VNC, ensure the following conditions are met: For Terminal Services or Remote Desktop connections, make sure that the server you want to connect to is running Microsoft Terminal Services or Remote Desktop, and is connected to the Internet. For VNC connections, ensure that a VNC server is installed on the server that you want to connect to, and that the server is connected to the Internet. There are a number of VNC servers available for download on the Internet. Some VNC servers are free and others must be purchased. We recommend that you evaluate the various options available relative to your requirements. Some providers of VNC servers include: - Real VNC http://www.realvnc.com - Ultra VNC http://www.ultravnc.com

Note

For more information about how VNC technology works, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNC.

Getting started with RDP/VNC


In most cases, in order to connect to a server using RDP/VNC, the target server must be in your Mobile Admin Manage Servers screen, or RDP/VNC must be listed in the Mobile Admin Manage Services screen. To access a computer using RDP/VNC

Select Connect on the menu if the default connection settings are suitable. To modify default connection settings, see Your RDP/VNC session disconnects. on page 69. After a few minutes of an RDP connection over a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you may be logged out and receive an error message. This can occur because there is a setting on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that limits the amount of data that is allowed to be transmitted to and from your device during a single connection. To prevent this from happening, you can contact your BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrator and request that your per-connection data limit be raised to the maximum allowed, or you can choose connection settings that use less data, such as a lower resolution.
