BB 8100 and IT policy Issues...

[BES admin]

Anyone notice the following when an IT policy is applied to the new Blackberry 8100:

1. "Security Timeout" setting does not get applied. Ours is set to 1hour in our IT policy and the default 2min. is not modified when the policy is applied to the device.

2. MDS Browser Name does not apply and the default "browser" is the home-screen label for the MDS browser. However, if you look under Settings --> Advanced --> Browser --> Browser name is as the IT policy specifies.

We are running BES 4.1.2 so there is no BES side reason for this to occur.

Anyone else see this or other similar IT policy issues with the 8100?

Thanks

I had the same question and issue. Spoke with T-Support and apparently the 2 minutes is simply the default set on the handheld. The Maximum Security Timeout set on the server is simply the threshold setting. It allows the user to change their security timeout UP to whatever setting you placed. So for example, if you have 30 minutes set server side, the user can change their security timeout individually up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
