Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if there is a way to easily audit users URL access on the BES? I want to see what websites I visit on a certain day via my BlackBerry? Is there an easy way to do it? I can see that the MDAT logs have URLs in it, but it is a lot of work to filter through it all...

I could write some code to do it also, but again, that is quite a bit of work.

In the MDS Connection Service Properties under "logs", there is a "HTTP Logging Enabled" option, which is enabled, but I am unsure where those logs go...

Cheers.

It's funny, I have HTTP logging / Verbose HTTP logging enabled set to FALSE yet I still find those MDAT logs filled with URLs.

Is there any robust documentation on the Mobile Data Services architecture? We do not use any MDS functionality but have it installed (all we care about is Email/Calendar/PIM synch, that's why we have BES) and would like to make sure we are neither retaining any data we do not need nor restricting access. For example, does BlackBerry Browser traffic go through the BES or is it just logged there?

The log level (by default) will grab that basic data ... enabling verbose logging just logs more.

All BlackBerry Browser traffic goes through the MDS-CS Service; hence through the BES.

The install / tech guides explain MDS-CS to a certain degree, but I don't know of a specific doc focused on MDS ... Other than the MDAT logs, you're not logging anything regarding MDS on the BES by default.

Is the only way to stop BlackBerry Browser traffic from going through the service to remove the MDS-CS component?

Also, your blog, docs, and input are job saving at times. Do you know that?

Within IT Policy (Global > Allow Browser) you can block the BlackBerry (MDS) browser by setting that to No.

... its why I do it.

Glad to help.
