HOWTO: Find the SRP & Auth Key in the SQLDB of an existing BES12 installation

This post is going to be pretty short and simple.  We had a customer who had lost track of the corresponding Auth Key to their existing SRP ID in Blackberry Enterprise Server 12.  A simple SQL query was all that is required to pull the SRP and Auth Key from the existing production SQL database.  This **should** work on any version of BES12, but I only tested it on BES 12.5.2 and BES 12.6.

  1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
  2. Connect to the SQL server instance that hosts the BES database.
  3. Click the “New Query” button on the toolbar (or press CTRL + N).
  4. Paste the following query into the query editor, then click the Execute Button (adjust the BES_DATABASE_NAME as required)
SELECT TOP 1000 [id_sws_tenant]
,[created]
,[modified]
,[external_tenant_id]
,[external_authenticator_id]
FROM [BES_DATABASE_NAME].[dbo].[obj_sws_tenant]

The output will contain the SRP (external_tenant_id) and Auth Key (external_authenicator_id).
