Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that? :oops: That's why I labeled my self 'the ignorant'.
|
why dont you change the timeout option to one hour? I am on a bes with an it policy and I was able to change mine
|
It depends on if the specific IT policy allows that change.
|
Unfortunately they've set it up so I cannot change the timeout.
Is what I'm suggesting possible (program running in the background that enters a keystroke every 19 minutes--since timeout set by administrator to 20 minutes), does it makes sense? Any volunteers to write something for me to try? |
Success confirmation

I have been attempting to use a bluetooth keyboard with my 8100 Pearl. It is under IT policy. The default policy denies access to "keystroke injection" in the Application Permissions under Security Settings which is necessary for access by a Bluetooth Keyboard.
I tried this procedure on an old BB that is no longer used on the BES in order to see if I could get the "keystroke injection" denial lifted and use the keyboard on the old BB. Yes, the procedure will appear to "remove" IT policy. However, it only applies a blank policy which doesn't show up under Security Settings. There is still policy on the device after using this procedure. Firewalls are set to "default" policy. Under default some settings are defaulted to "disallow" or "deny." One of which is the "keystroke injection." It needs to be set to "allow" in order to allow access by a Bluetooth Keyboard. This blank policy doesn't allow this. I just wanted to inform those using this procedure that it doesn't completely "remove" all IT policy. It does lift a lot of restrictions from the device but not all. |
John, I was wondering. When a user performs an E.A. on BBDM within a company firewall for BES, with a unit that has a previous IT Policy from another company, they show up at "initializing". Most of the information is there with IT Policy at a pending field which within 5-10mins shows "failed" on the BES for that particular user. Why doesn't trying to send "Blank" IT Policy clear the previous one out, then "Send" IT Policy for the company its on resolve this?
BTW, the BB Unit was procured under warranty replacement with Cingular by specific internal company contact & Cingular. PS I was just curious. |
Is it possible for me to wipe the device, remove the policy, and then upload applications to my device. Such as games or ringtones. Then when i am finished, reconnect to my DES and go undetected?
|
Read the disclaimer in the original post. That is NOT what this is intended for. You risk your job in doing this. Additionally, when you connect back up to the BES the policy will be pushed right back anyway and you'll lose everything.

Does the policy.bin that's floating around here have more generous settings than this? |
No password required with this policy.
|
I downloaded a copy of the free BES Express. It contains the policy compiler. I made my own policy.inf with the settings I wanted. My paranoia was kicking in at the though of downloading and applying a policy file from the Net, even though I have no reason to doubt the policy.bin file in the thread is clean and legit. Like I said, paranoia. :)
The default policy file looks like the default policy that comes with the BES Express download is the .bin file included in Desktop Manager. It had a 5 character password minimum, and maximum password age was set to 5 days. |

So you were able to create your own policy.bin using the BES express download? Howabout some more info on this. How did you do it? |

Joe, this was a good find. You've figured out how the policy.bin was created. I've tried creating another policy.bin. I was successful but, unfortunatly, it doesn't do any better than the one posted originally in the first post. There is no way to use this policy compiler to open up the application permissions from what the BES pushed out in policy.
Good work, though. I now know how to create a policy.bin. |
