Component name
Description
BlackBerry UEM Core
The 
BlackBerry UEM Core
 is the central component of the 
BlackBerry UEM
 architecture. It consists of several subcomponents that are responsible for:
  • Logging, monitoring, reporting, and management functions
  • Authentication and authorization services
  • Scheduling and sending commands, IT policies, and profiles to devices
BlackBerry UEM
 database
The 
BlackBerry UEM
 database is a relational database that contains user account information and configuration information that 
BlackBerry UEM
 uses to manage devices.
BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service
The 
BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service
 sends commands to 
Exchange ActiveSync
 to add devices to an allowed list when devices are activated on 
BlackBerry UEM
. Unmanaged devices that try to connect to an organization's mail server can be reviewed, verified, and blocked or allowed by an administrator using the 
BlackBerry UEM
 management console.
Management console and 
UEM Self-Service
The management console and 
UEM Self-Service
 provide a browser-based user interface for administrator and user access to 
BlackBerry UEM
.
You use the management console to manage system settings, users, devices, and apps.
Users can use 
UEM Self-Service
 to set an activation password and send commands to devices, such as set password, lock device, and delete device data.
Samsung
 KLM Server
If you are managing 
Samsung Knox
 devices, a 
Samsung Knox
 License Management server is installed with 
BlackBerry UEM
 for dark sites so that 
BlackBerry UEM
 doesn't have to connect to the web-based 
Samsung Knox
 License Management System to get license information.
Samsung Knox
 devices communicate with the KLM server using your work 
Wi-Fi
 network.
APNs
To manage 
iOS
 devices, 
BlackBerry UEM
 must send notifications to devices through an APNs server. When devices receive a notification from APNs, they contact 
BlackBerry UEM
 for updates.
For information about securing connections to APNs or possible alternatives to using the public APNs, contact your 
Apple
 support representative.
