  • 0

I have a Web application (.NET/SQL) that I’d like to change the authentication scheme from a local SQL-based username/password to a client/server certificate model.

Kicker is that the client devices are Blackberry Bolds (assuming the most recent) and I have no idea whether Blackberries support this method of authentication.

I should note that these devices are not managed by BES (or the organization for that matter): they will be using the native Blackberry browser to connect to a Web application on the public Internet over untrusted wifi and 3G networks.

    Yes, the BlackBerry browser has supported this method of authentication since at least OS 4.6 (the first Bold). The issue is getting the appropriate certificate to the device in a way secure enough for your application without BES.
