M-Business Anywhere accounts

This section describes how to create, modify, and delete M-Business Anywhere accounts from Mobile Web Studio and from M-Business Anywhere server. M-Business Anywhere accounts are needed to deploy applications to PDAs, such as PalmOS and PocketPC.

If you are deploying mobile applications through BES, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server documentation for account instructions. If you are deploying mobile applications to BlackBerry devices using page groups, you must have a Mobile Web Studio account.

Unwired Accelerator integrates Mobile Web Studio and M-Business Anywhere. You can manage M-Business Anywhere accounts through Mobile Web Studio and M-Business Anywhere, but procedures may differ depending on how you have configured your system. Keep in mind the following:

The global.properties.xml property, MB.AutoRegistration, determines how user accounts are handled when Unwired Accelerator and M-Business Anywhere are integrated.

If MB.AutoRegistration is set to true, when a user joins Portal Interface, or a user is added to Mobile Web Studio, the user automatically joins the M-Business Anywhere server with the same user name and password. See the Unwired Accelerator Installation Guide for information about changing the MB.AutoRegistraiton setting.
If MB.AutoRegistration is set to false, Mobile Web Studio does not self-register to M-Business Anywhere. The Studio Admin user can register a Mobile Web Studio user in M-Business Anywhere using Manage | User/Roles, and selecting “Create M-Business user.” See the Unwired Accelerator Installation Guide for information about changing the MB.AutoRegistraiton setting.

For existing Mobile Web Studio users who do not have an account in M-Business Anywhere:

The M-Business Anywhere administrator can create an account for the user in M-Business Anywhere.
The Mobile Web Studio administrator can create an M-Business user in Mobile Web Studio by selecting Manage | Users/Roles, selecting a user and right-clicking, and selecting Create M-Business User.
The Mobile Web Studio user can self-register in M-Business server or in Mobile Web Studio (using Manage | M-Business); or the Mobile Web Studio.

User names in Mobile Web Studio and M-Business Anywhere must match. Also, if you create a user in M-Business server, an account is not created for the user in Mobile Web Studio.

To manage Mobile Web Studio users, use Manage | Users/Roles.

To manage Mobile Web Studio users of M-Business Anywhere, use Manage | M-Business.

To create M-Business Anywhere users, use M-Business Anywhere or use Mobile Web Studio (Manage | M-Business).

If you delete a user from Mobile Web Studio, through Manage | Users/Roles, the user is not automatically deleted from M-Business Anywhere.
