Authentication, post MDS to WCF Windows Service...

Options

Hi All,

 

I am new to Blackberry development and have a question, which I hope you can help with.

I have a requirement to call a Microsoft WCF service, via the MDS. This service, firstly needs to know the requesting Blackberry phone in order for authorisation to take place within the .NET WCF Service.

Can you please let me know if this is done? Can I put a custom HTTP heading in the Blackberry request?? Will the MDS Server strip the HTTP Headers??

What are the best practices for this process please?

 

Many thanks for the help,

- Hollis..

The MDS Connection Service should not strip off custom HTTP headers.  You could add the BlackBerry PIN number to the HTTP request and use that as an identifier.  The DeviceInfo class can be used to obtain the PIN.

 

You can also configure a BlackBerry Enterprise Server to send a BlackBerry PIN or email address with HTTP requests from the BlackBerry Browser.
