Hi

I have upgraded the BS to SP6. There were no issues. I'd like to get the OCS client running on our devices here but I'm having some problems understanding the exact method required to set up OCS connectivity.

Currently we have the LCS 2007 server running, Web Access is enabled.

My questions are as follow:


*What server should BES be pointing to? The OCS server or the WEB access address of that server?

*How do you know if AJAX is actually installed (I did not build the OCS server and that person is unavailable at the moment)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

1) The OCS server
2) Ajax is installed with CWA. If you have the ajax.dll it looks to be installed.

Will be setting this up on our site soon. Got this yesterday from support.

We are about to upgrade to BES 4.1.6 from 4.1.4 and will be configuring for OCS 2007 for the first time. Do you have any set up instructions now posted on the Forums Website? Anyway to get a link if available?

Thanks.

We are trying to get the two running at the moment and are having a tough time. I have been going back and forth with RIM support, and although they do not have any formal documentation to integrating the two, these are the instructions for initially setting uip the connection.

From the CWA server, highlight the domain and select 'Create Virtual Web Server'.
1) Leave the virtual server type as 'Internal'. Select 'Next'.
2) Leave the default 'Built-in Authentication' for the Authentication type. Select 'Next'.
3) Leave both authentication types selected, forms-based and integrated. Select 'Next'.
4) For connection type, select 'HTTP'. Select 'Next'.
5) For the IP Address leave the default as 'All Unassigned' and change the port: 1185. Select 'Next'.
6) Type a description and then on the next window start the virtual server.
7) Select 'Next' and 'Finish'.
8) On the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for the BBIM server properties, select the port number from above 1185 and select 'HTTP' for the protocol.
9) Restart the BlackBerry Collaboration service.
10) Attempt the login again.
11) Try two different logins for two different users.
