I'm looking for a way to set up a policy that will allow me to push 3rd party applications via the BES, but not allow a customer to just download them from their browser.

Thoughts?

If you want to disable all third party application downloads, then set Disallow Third Party Application Downloads to True and you're set.

If you're simply not wanting them to download an application OTA that you're sending wirelessly to them (e.g. - you're pushing the Bloomberg app and you don't want them to be able to download it from Bloomberg's website on their own), there's no way to currently configure that within the IT and application push policies to my knowledge.

If the application you're pushing to their device requires internet connectivity to finish the installation (e.g. - DST 2007 patch from RIM), then you're out of luck on configuring the IT Policy to allow that connectivity, unfortunately.

Hope that helps.

The issue I was seeing is that I couldn't wirelessly push bloomberg if the disallow 3rd party applications was set to true. I had to set it to false to succesffully push bloomberg.

The assumption I was left with, was that I couldn't even push a 3rd party app if disallow third party app downloads was set to true. I would like to push 3rd party apps, but not allow the customers to download anything on their own.

Thanks for the replies
