Configuring 
Kerberos
 PKINIT

BlackBerry UEM
 supports 
Kerberos
 PKINIT for 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 user authentication using PKI certificates.
If you want to use 
Kerberos
 PKINIT for 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps, your organization must meet the following requirements:

Key points

  • Kerberos
     Constrained Delegation must not be enabled.
  • The KDC host must be added to the Allowed Domains list in the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     Connectivity Profile.
  • The KDC host must be listening on TCP port 88 (the 
    Kerberos
     default port).
  • BlackBerry Dynamics
     doesn't support KDC over UDP.
  • The KDC must have an 
    A
     record (IPv4) or 
    AAAA
     record (IPv6) in your DNS.
  • BlackBerry Dynamics
     doesn't use 
    Kerberos
     configuration files (such as 
    krb5.conf
    ) to locate the correct KDC.
  • The KDC can refer the client to another KDC host. 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     will follow the referral, as long as the KDC host that is referred to is added to the Allowed Domains list in the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     Connectivity Profile.
  • The KDC can obtain the TGT transparently to 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     from another KDC host.

Server certificates

  • Windows
     KDC server certificates issued via the Active Directory Certificate Services must come only from the following 
    Windows Server
     versions. No other server versions are supported.
    • Internet Information Server with 
      Windows Server
       2008 R2
    • Internet Information Server with 
      Windows Server
       2012 R2
  •  Valid KDC service certificates must be located either in the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     Certificate Store or the Device Certificate Store.

Client certificates

  • The minimum keylength for the certificates must be 2,048 bytes.
  • Client certificates must include the User Principal Name (for example, user@domain.com) in the Subject Alternative Name of object ID szOID_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.3, as specified by Microsoft at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/287547.
  •  The domain of the User Principal Name must match the name of the realm of the Windows KDC service.
  • The Extended Key Usage property of the certificate must be 
    Microsoft
     Smart Card logon (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.2).
  • Certificates must be valid. Validate them against the servers listed above.
