After calling "net.rim.device.api.lbs.Locator.geocode(String freeformString, Coordinates startCoords)" we get a error message "net.rim.device.api.system.ControlledAccessException" while trying to geocode an address.

Do we have to set special Enterprise rules for that call? If yes, what and where?

Thanks

This is likely called by the app not having permissions set appropriately. If your application requires special permissions then it would be recommended to request those permissions programmatically when the app is first run.

It is possible that the BES has rules in place to prevent LBS APIs from being used, but I would recommend checking the app permissions on the device first.

Thanks for the reply. However we don't know what permission for this API call is necessary and what IT policy must be set by the BES admin in order to grant those permissions. There is no documentation regarding this issue...

Hi Stefan,

The app is trying to access the location of the device, so you need to have the "Location Data" permission of the application enabled. 

There are many docs about permissions, both device side and server side.

Hi Garett, thanks for your fast reply.

The call doesn't access the location of the device. Locator is a geocoding service that allows you to obtain location information for an address.

Any help to us?

Hi Stefan,

Request app permissions, there is an applicationpermissionsdemo sample included with all Java Development tools that shows how this can be done. Alternatively try enabling all permissions and see if the issue goes away.
