The BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Server (BEMS) must be configured with an inactivity timeout of 15 minutes or less.
Discussion
A session time-out lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. Rather than relying on the user to manually lock their application session prior to vacating the vicinity, applications need to be able to identify when a user's application session has idled and take action to initiate the session lock.
