[. . . ] You can use the BlackBerry Manager to configure IT policies. 36 Feature and Technical Overview BlackBerry Policy Service Feature wireless delivery Description When you configure IT policies, all settings take effect when the BlackBerry Policy Service delivers them to BlackBerry devices over the wireless network. New IT policy rule settings write to the user configurations on BlackBerry devices automatically. To keep the IT policy rule settings current, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server periodically sends the IT policies to BlackBerry devices over the wireless network. When you install the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and add user accounts to it, the BlackBerry Policy Service adds the user accounts to the default IT policy automatically. Until BlackBerry devices accept the IT policy, the user accounts are not active on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. If you delete all IT policies, the BlackBerry Policy Service assigns user accounts to the default IT policy automatically. You can assign an IT policy to individual user accounts or groups of user accounts. If the BlackBerry Enterprise Server cannot send an updated IT policy to a BlackBerry device immediately--for example, if a user is outside of a wireless coverage area--you can resend the IT policy manually or configure the period of time after which the BlackBerry Policy Service resends the IT policy automatically. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server continues to resend the IT policy automatically until it sends the IT policy to a BlackBerry device successfully. You can configure IT policies to override user-defined security settings on BlackBerry devices. You can configure IT polices that define security settings for BlackBerry devices and the BlackBerry® Desktop Software. For example, you can configure whether a BlackBerry device password is required, the length of time that a password can exist before it is not valid, and the length and composition of a password. You can also use IT policies to specify encryption key details.

The peek mode is set between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the Novell GroupWise server. The Novell GroupWise connector creates a TCP/IP connection to the Novell GroupWise server using the Novell GroupWise Object API. This connection remains open while the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is running. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server starts processing transactions when all active users are connected. 2. 3. You can add users to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server without restarting the Novell GroupWise server or the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Process flow: Sending a message to a BlackBerry device 1. 3. A new message arrives in a user's Novell® GroupWise® mailbox. The BlackBerry® Messaging Agent polls the user's mailbox and detects the message. The BlackBerry Messaging Agent applies global filter rules to the messages in the user's mailbox and filters the messages that match the filter criteria.
