Change IT policy Rule with BlackBerry Administration API

Hi All,

 

What I want to do is to change a ITPolicy Rule like this:

 

ITPolicy: (Medium Password Security)

Rule: (Password Required)

Value: Yes

 

I tried it with the BlackBerry Administration API for BES 5.0.3 but I can't see a way to do this....

 

Is this posible?

 

regards, David

Re: Change IT policy Rule with BlackBerry Administration API

Hi David,

 

Creation or modification of IT Policies is not currently supported via the BlackBerry Administration API nor the BlackBerry Web Services for Enterprise Administration.

Re: Change IT policy Rule with BlackBerry Administration API

Does RIM support creation, editing of policies through BES web services for enterprise administration ?

Re: Change IT policy Rule with BlackBerry Administration API

Thanks Garett for such a quick response. IS there a expected timeline for supporting such a feature? We have huge client (cell phone carrier) who is looking for BES integration with our MDM product.

Re: Change IT policy Rule with BlackBerry Administration API

There has been no timeline currently available, but this issue has been requested a few times before so is being considered:
