Unable to add BB device to BESx server!!!

Post by NicholasJaxson »

hi.

it's probably more a BES related question, but I've set up Z 6.0.9 and BESx 5.0.2, connector 6.5.5, OLK 2007 SP2 on W2k3.

Everything seems to work great. I tested the BES connector by sending an email with outlook and works. I've added a BB user fetching infos from Z, so the connection between the two seems working!

I checked connection between BESx and RIM's server and the test went fine.
But then, when I try to activate a mobile against the email address I've configured, it fails saying network connection not available.
I've connected the BB device via Wifi, and enabled wifi activation on besx.
On the firewall, I've forwarded 3443 from outside to the BESx server. Does it need anything else?
thanks

You really must be joking that you've installed that version of ZCS. You're putting your server and your users at risk of being hacked as earlier versions of ZCS suffer from very serious security vulnerabilities that have recently been fixed and in addition that version of ZCS is no longer supported. I' strongly suggest that if you care about the security of your users you should upgrade to the most recent version of ZCS.

We decommissioned our BESx instance in October 2016. Checking my notes, at that point we were running BESx 5.0.3, Zimbra 8.6 and connector 7.2.3.65. The BES was running on a Windows XP VM and there was no port forward to the VM. The VM was denied access to the outside world excepting TCP packets destined for port 3101 to allow connection to the RIM infrastructure.

Sounds like you have everything you need, although a more recent setup might have less bugs for you to bump into. From memory we never got BESx 5.0.4 to work.
