Considerations for changing BlackBerry
Dynamics certificates
BlackBerry
Dynamics
certificatesIf you want to change any of the
BlackBerry
Dynamics
SSL
certificates, keep the following considerations in mind. If problems occur when you
change a certificate, communication between BlackBerry UEM
components and between BlackBerry UEM
and BlackBerry
Dynamics
apps could
be disrupted. Plan and test certificate changes carefully.Add new certificates to any peripheral equipment
If you have added any
BlackBerry
Dynamics
certificates
to peripheral equipment on your network, add the new certificate to peripheral
equipment before adding it to BlackBerry UEM
Update BlackBerry
Dynamics
apps
BlackBerry
Dynamics
appsIf you are replacing the
BlackBerry
Dynamics
certificate
for application management or Direct Connect
, ensure that users' BlackBerry
Dynamics
apps are
updated to the most recent versions before you replace the certificate.Any
BlackBerry
Dynamics
apps developed by your organization must be built with
version 3.2 or later of the BlackBerry
Dynamics
SDK. Older apps can't receive the new certificate from BlackBerry UEM
.BlackBerry
Dynamics apps must
be open to receive a certificate
BlackBerry
Dynamics
apps must
be open to receive a certificateUsers must open a
BlackBerry
Dynamics
app for the
app to receive a certificate from BlackBerry UEM
. If you are replacing the BlackBerry
Dynamics
certificate
for application management or Direct Connect
and the change becomes effective before BlackBerry UEM
pushes the certificate to all BlackBerry
Dynamics
apps, any
apps that did not receive the certificate must be reactivated. Apps do not receive
certificates while they are suspended on iOS
devices or while Android
devices are in Doze mode.Ensure the BlackBerry Connectivity Node is
accessible
BlackBerry Connectivity Node
is
accessibleIf any
BlackBerry Proxy
instances are unreachable by BlackBerry UEM
when BlackBerry
Dynamics
certificates are replaced, BlackBerry
Dynamics
apps will
not be able to connect to those instances following the certificate replacement.Schedule certificate changes appropriately
If you are replacing the certificate for
BlackBerry
Dynamics
servers,
choose a period of low activity to restart the servers.Allow sufficient time for new certificates to propagate to
BlackBerry Proxy
and BlackBerry
Dynamics
apps. If you
are replacing only the certificate for BlackBerry
Dynamics
servers,
allow at least 10 minutes before the server restarts.If you are replacing the
BlackBerry
Dynamics
certificate
for application management or Direct Connect
, it is recommended that the time until the effective date be
longer than the Connectivity verification "Last contact time" setting in the
compliance profile.If you are replacing both the
BlackBerry
Dynamics
certificates for application management and Direct Connect
, set the
effective times at least 30 minutes apart. If you have a large number of users and
BlackBerry
Dynamics
apps,
you should wait longer than 30 minutes between each certificate.
