BlackBerry Issue

david454
I am trying to get a Blackberry to connect to an Apache Tomcat database.  The server is working fine and the uDAP Server status page loads via computers on the internal network, with a connection by-pass setup for the local IP address set inside of Internet Options.  When I try to go to the status page via the Blackberry browser it comes up with HTTP Error 403: Forbidden.  When trying via my database application via the Blackberry, I get a message “HTTP Connection not successful”.  The Astaro log shows me  -2009:02:17-11:42:06 (none) httpproxy[12606]: id="0002" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="web request blocked" action="block" method="GET" srcip="10.200.60.3" user="" statuscode="403" cached="0" profile="profile_0" filteraction="action_REF_DefaultHTTPCFFAction" size="2184" time="1 ms" request="0x90079f30" url="10.200.60.3:8852/mdb" error="Target service not allowed"  The error message via the web browser shows method=”push”, the database app error displays method=”get”
Any ideas?

    Looks like your Blackberry Server is setup to use the proxy for connections...  you could try adding the port 8852 as a defined service to the Allowed Service configuration for the HTTP Proxy.  The definition for the 8852 service should be:

    Source Ports:  1024:65535
    Destination Port:  8852
    Type: TCP

    etc. etc.

    Thanks for the idea.  I don't understand why, but the current TCP rule setup on the Astaro that is supposed to allow traffic from the BlackBerry to the BES Server for service port source 1:65535 and destination port 8852 does not allow the traffic through.  Could it be related to the user=”” and not a valid proxy user?   What is also interesting is that the BES server pushes data OK to the Blackberry.  It successfully pushes down the IP address for accessing the database, and then the user enters a username and password and clicks login and then the message HTTP connection not succesful shows up on the BlackBerry and the error message is logged in Astaro.

    Any thoughts?

    The problem was solved by adding 8852 service under the allowed target services area found on the Advanced Tab of the HTTP area of the Web Security tab.[:)]
