components available for integrating iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with your enterprise
systems.
iPhone and iPod touch
iPhone and iPod touch devices you use with your enterprise network must be updated
to iPhone OS 3.1.x.
iPad
iPad must be updated to iPhone OS 3.2.x.
iTunes
iTunes 9.1 or later is required in order to set up a device. iTunes is also required in order
to install software updates for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. You also use iTunes to
install applications, and sync music, video, notes, or other data with a Mac or PC.
To use iTunes, you need a Mac or PC that has a USB 2.0 port and meets the minimum
requirements listed on the iTunes website. See www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
iPhone Configuration Utility
iPhone Configuration Utility lets you create, encrypt, and install configuration profiles,
track and install provisioning profiles and authorized applications, and capture device
information such as console logs.
iPhone Configuration Utility requires one of the following:
 Mac OS X v10.5 Snow Leopard
 Windows XP Service Pack 3 with .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
 Windows Vista Service Pack 1 with .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
 Windows 7 with .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1

Preface
iPhone in the Enterprise
7
You can download the .Net Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 installer at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-831981da479ab0d7
The utility allows you to create an Outlook message with a configuration profile as an
attachment. Additionally, you can assign users’ names and email addresses from your
desktop address book to devices that you’ve connected to the utility. Both of these
features require Outlook and are not compatible with Outlook Express. To use these
features on Windows XP computers, you may need to install 2007 Microsoft Office
System Update: Redistributable Primary Interop Assemblies. This is necessary if Outlook
was installed before .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.
The Primary Interop Assemblies installer is available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=59daebaa-bed4-4282a28c-b864d8bfa513
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad support the following versions of Microsoft Exchange:
 Exchange ActiveSync for Exchange Server (EAS) 2003 Service Pack 2
 Exchange ActiveSync for Exchange Server (EAS) 2007
For support of Exchange 2007 policies and features, Service Pack 1 is required.
Supported Exchange ActiveSync Policies
The following Exchange policies are supported:
 Enforce password on device
 Minimum password length
 Maximum failed password attempts
 Require both numbers and letters
 Inactivity time in minutes
The following Exchange 2007 policies are also supported:
 Allow or prohibit simple password
 Password expiration
 Password history
 Policy refresh interval
 Minimum number of complex characters in password
 Require manual syncing while roaming
 Allow camera
 Require device encryption
For a description of each policy, refer to your Exchange ActiveSync documentation.
8Preface iPhone in the Enterprise
The Exchange policy to require device encryption (RequireDeviceEncryption) is
supported on iPhone 3GS, on iPod touch (Fall 2009 models with 32 GB or more)
and on iPad. iPhone, iPhone 3G, and other iPod touch models don’t support device
encryption and won’t connect to an Exchange Server that requires it.
If you enable the policy “Require Both Numbers and Letters” on Exchange 2003, or
the policy “Require Alphanumeric Password” on Exchange 2007, the user must enter
a device passcode that contains at least one complex character.
The value specified by the inactivity time policy (MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock or
AEFrequencyValue) is used to set the maximum value that users can select in both
Settings > General > Auto-Lock and Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Require
Passcode.
Remote Wipe
You can remotely wipe the contents of an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. Wiping removes
all data and configuration information from the device. The device is securely erased
and restored to original, factory settings.
Important: On iPhone and iPhone 3G, wiping overwrites the data on the device, which
can take approximately one hour for each 8 GB of device capacity. Connect the device
to a power supply before wiping. If the device turns off due to low power, the wiping
process resumes when the device is connected to power. On iPhone 3GS and iPad,
wiping removes the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES
encryption) which occurs instantaneously.
With Exchange Server 2007, you can initiate a remote wipe using the Exchange
Management Console, Outlook Web Access, or the Exchange ActiveSync Mobile
Administration Web Tool.
With Exchange Server 2003, you can initiate a remote wipe using the Exchange
ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web Tool.
Users can also wipe a device in their possession by choosing “Erase All Content and
Settings” from the Reset menu in General settings. Devices can also be configured to
automatically initiate a wipe after several failed passcode attempts.
If you recover a device that was wiped because it was lost, use iTunes to restore it using
the device’s latest backup.
Microsoft Direct Push
The Exchange server automatically delivers email, contacts, and calendar events to
iPhone and iPad Wi-Fi + 3G if a cellular or Wi-Fi data connection is available. iPod touch
and iPad Wi-Fi don’t have a cellular connection, so they receive push notifications only
when they’re active and connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Preface iPhone in the Enterprise9
Microsoft Exchange Autodiscovery
The Autodiscover service of Exchange Server 2007 is supported. When you
manually configure a device, Autodiscover uses your email address and password
to automatically determine the correct Exchange server information. For information
about enabling the Autodiscover service, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/
library/cc539114.aspx.
Microsoft Exchange Global Address List
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad retrieve contact information from your company’s
Exchange server corporate directory. You can access the directory when searching
in Contacts, and it’s automatically accessed for completing email addresses as you
enter them.
Additional Supported Exchange ActiveSync Features
In addition to the features and capabilities already described, iPhone OS supports:
 Creating calendar invitations. With Microsoft Exchange 2007, you can also view the
status of replies to your invitations.
 Setting Free, Busy, Tentative, or Out of Office status for your calendar events.
 Searching mail messages on the server. Requires Microsoft Exchange 2007.
 Exchange ActiveSync client certificate-based authentication.
Unsupported Exchange ActiveSync Features
Not all Exchange features are supported, including, for example:
 Folder management
 Opening links in email to documents stored on SharePoint servers
 Task synchronization
 Setting an “out of office” autoreply message
 Flagging messages for follow-up
VPN
iPhone OS works with VPN servers that support the following protocols and
authentication methods:
 L2TP/IPSec with user authentication by MS-CHAPV2 Password, RSA SecurID and
CryptoCard, and machine authentication by shared secret.
 PPTP with user authentication by MS-CHAPV2 Password, RSA SecurID, and
CryptoCard.
 Cisco IPSec with user authentication by Password, RSA SecurID, or CryptoCard,
and machine authentication by shared secret and certificates. See Appendix A for
compatible Cisco VPN servers and recommendations about configurations.
10Preface iPhone in the Enterprise
Cisco IPSec with certificate-based authentication supports VPN on demand for domains
you specify during configuration. See “VPN Settings” on page 35 for details.
Network Security
iPhone OS supports the following 802.11i wireless networking security standards as
defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance:
 WEP
 WPA Personal
 WPA Enterprise
 WPA2 Personal
 WPA2 Enterprise
Additionally, iPhone OS supports the following 802.1X authentication methods for WPA
Enterprise and WPA2 Enterprise networks:
 EAP-TLS
 EAP -TTLS
 EAP-FAST
 EAP-SIM
 PEAP v0, PEAP v1
 LEAP
Certificates and Identities
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad can use X.509 certificates with RSA keys. The file
extensions .cer, .crt, and .der are recognized. Certificate chain evaluations are
performed by Safari, Mail, VPN, and other applications.
Use P12 (PKCS #12 standard) files that contain exactly one identity. The file extensions
.p12 and .pfx are recognized. When an identity is installed, the user is prompted for the
passphrase that protects it.
Certificates necessary for establishing the certificate chain to a trusted root certificate
can be installed manually or by using configuration profiles. You don’t need to add root
certificates that are included on the device by Apple. To view a list of the preinstalled
system roots, see the Apple Support article at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3580.
Certificates can be securely installed over the air via SCEP. See “Overview of the
Authenticated Enrollment and Configuration Process” on page 22 for more information.
Preface iPhone in the Enterprise11
Email Accounts
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad support industry-standard IMAP4- and POP3-enabled
mail solutions on a range of server platforms including Windows, UNIX, Linux, and
Mac OS X. You can also use IMAP to access email from Exchange accounts in addition
to the Exchange account you use with direct push.
When a user searches their mail, they have the option of continuing the search on
the mail server. This works with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 as well as most
IMAP-based accounts.
The user’s email account information, including Exchange user ID and password,
are securely stored on the device.
LDAP Servers
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad retrieve contact information from your company’s LDAPv3
server corporate directories.You can access directories when searching in Contacts, and
and they are automatically accessed for completing email addresses as you enter them.
CalDAV Servers
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad synchronize calendar data with your company’s CalDAV
server. Changes to the calendar are periodically updated between the device and
server.
You can also subscribe to read-only published calendars, such as holiday calendars or
those of a colleague’s schedule.
Creating and sending new calendar invitations from a device isn’t supported for CalDAV
accounts.

Preface iPhone in the Enterprise13
1Deploying iPhone and iPod touch
1
This chapter provides an overview of how to deploy iPhone,
iPod touch, and iPad in your enterprise.
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad are designed to easily integrate with your enterprise
systems, including Microsoft Exchange 2003 and 2007, 802.1X-based secure wireless
networks, and Cisco IPSec virtual private networks. As with any enterprise solution,
good planning and an understanding of your deployment options make deployment
easier and more efficient for you and your users.
When planning your deployment of iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, consider the
following:
 How will your company’s iPhones and iPad (Wi-Fi + 3G models) be activated for
wireless cellular service?
 Which enterprise network services, applications, and data will your users need to
access?
 What policies do you want to set on the devices to protect sensitive company data?
 Do you want to manually configure devices individually, or use a streamlined process
for configuring a large fleet?
14
The specifics of your enterprise environment, IT policies, wireless carrier, and your
computing and communication requirements affect how you tailor your deployment
strategy.
Activating Devices
Each iPhone must be activated with your wireless carrier before it can be used to make
and receive calls, send text messages, or connect to the cellular data network. Contact
your carrier for voice and data tariffs and activation instructions for consumer and
business customers.
You or your user need to install a SIM card in the iPhone. After the SIM card is installed,
iPhone must be connected to a computer with iTunes to complete the activation
process. If the SIM card is already active, iPhone is ready for immediate use; otherwise,
iTunes walks you through the process of activating a new line of service.
iPad must be connected to a computer with iTunes to activate the device. For
iPad Wi-Fi + 3G in the U.S., you sign up and manage (or cancel) an AT&T data plan
using iPad. Go to Settings > Cellular Data > View Account. iPad is unlocked, so
you can use your preferred carrier. Contact your carrier to set up an account and
obtain a compatible micro SIM card. In the U.S., micro SIM cards compatible with
AT&T are included with iPad Wi-Fi + 3G.
Although there is no cellular service or SIM card for iPod touch and iPad Wi-Fi, they
must also be connected to a computer with iTunes for activation.
Because iTunes is required in order to complete the activation process, you must
decide whether you want to install iTunes on each user’s Mac or PC, or whether
you’ll complete activation for each device with your own iTunes installation.
After activation, iTunes isn’t required in order to use the device with your enterprise
systems, but it’s required for synchronizing music, video, and web browser bookmarks
with a computer. It’s also required for downloading and installing software updates
for devices and installing your enterprise applications.
For more information about activating devices and using iTunes, see Chapter 4.
Chapter 1 Deploying iPhone and iPod touch15
Preparing Access to Network Services and Enterprise Data
iPhone OS 3.x software enables secure push email, push contacts, and push calendar
with your existing Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or 2007 solution, as well as Global
Address Lookup, Remote Wipe, and device passcode policy enforcement. It also
allows users to securely connect to company resources via WPA Enterprise and WPA2
Enterprise wireless networks using 802.1X wireless authentication and/or via VPN
using PPTP, LT2P over IPSec, or Cisco IPSec protocols.
If your company doesn’t use Microsoft Exchange, your users can still use iPhone or
iPod touch to wirelessly sync email with most standard POP or IMAP-based servers
and services. And they can use iTunes to sync calendar events and contacts from
Mac OS X iCal and Address Book or Microsoft Outlook on a Windows PC. For wireless
access to calendars and directories, CalDAV and LDAP are supported.
As you determine which network services you want users to access, refer to the
information in the following sections.
Microsoft Exchange
iPhone communicates directly with your Microsoft Exchange Server via Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync (EAS). Exchange ActiveSync maintains a connection between
the Exchange Server and iPhone or iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, so that when a new email
message or meeting invitation arrives, the device is instantly updated. iPod touch
and iPad Wi-Fi don’t have a cellular connection, so they receive push notifications
only when they’re active and connected to a Wi-Fi network.
If your company currently supports Exchange ActiveSync on Exchange Server 2003 or
Exchange Server 2007, you already have the necessary services in place. For Exchange
Server 2007, make sure the Client Access Role is installed. For Exchange Server 2003,
make sure you’ve enabled Outlook Mobile Access (OMA).
If you have an Exchange Server but your company is new to Exchange ActiveSync,
review the information in the following sections.
Network Configuration
 Make sure port 443 is open on the firewall. If your company uses Outlook Web
Access, port 443 is most likely already open.
 Verify that a server certificate is installed on the front-end Exchange server and turn
on basic authentication only, in the Authentication Method properties, to require an
SSL connection to the Microsoft Server ActiveSync directory of your IIS.
 If you’re using a Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, verify that a
server certificate is installed and update the public DNS to properly resolve incoming
connections.
16Chapter 1 Deploying iPhone and iPod touch
 Make sure the DNS for your network returns a single, externally-routable address to
the Exchange ActiveSync server for both intranet and Internet clients. This is required
so the device can use the same IP address for communicating with the server when
both types of connections are active.
 If you’re using a Microsoft ISA Server, create a web listener as well as an Exchange
web client access publishing rule. See Microsoft’s documentation for details.
 For all firewalls and network appliances, set the idle session timeout to 30 minutes.
For information about heartbeat and timeout intervals, refer to the Microsoft
Exchange documentation at
Exchange Account Setup
 Enable Exchange ActiveSync for specific users or groups using the Active Directory
service. These are enabled by default for all mobile devices at the organizational level
in Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007. For Exchange Server 2007, see
Recipient Configuration in the Exchange Management Console.
 Configure mobile features, policies, and device security settings using the Exchange
System Manager. For Exchange Server 2007, this is done in the Exchange
Management Console.
 Download and install the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web
Tool, which is necessary to initiate a remote wipe. For Exchange Server 2007, remote
wipe can also be initiated using Outlook Web Access or the Exchange Management
Console.
Support for WPA Enterprise and WPA2 Enterprise ensures that corporate wireless
networks are securely accessed on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
uses AES 128-bit encryption, a proven block-based encryption method that provides a
high level of assurance that corporate data remains protected.
With support for 802.1X authentication, iPhone OS devices can be integrated into a
broad range of RADIUS server environments. 802.1X wireless authentication methods
are supported, including EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-FAST, PEAPv0, PEAPv1, and LEAP.
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Network Configuration
 Verify network appliances for compatibility and select an authentication type (EAP
type) supported by iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Make sure that 802.1X is enabled
on the authentication server, and if necessary, install a server certificate and assign
network access permissions to users and groups.
 Configure wireless access points for 802.1X authentication and enter the
corresponding RADIUS server information.
 Test your 802.1X deployment with a Mac or a PC to make sure RADIUS authentication
is properly configured.
Chapter 1 Deploying iPhone and iPod touch17
 If you plan to use certificate-based authentication, make sure you have your public
key infrastructure configured to support device and user-based certificates with the
corresponding key distribution process.
 Verify the compatibility of your certificate formats with the device and your
authentication server. For information about certificates see “Certificates and
Identities” on page 11.
Virtual Private Networks
Secure access to private networks is supported on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad using
Cisco IPSec, L2TP over IPSec, and PPTP virtual private network protocols. If your
organization supports one of these protocols, no additional network configuration or
third-party applications are required in order to use your devices with your VPN
infrastructure.
Cisco IPSec deployments can take advantage of certificate-based authentication via
industry-standard X.509 certificates. Additionally, certificate-based authentication
allows you to take advantage of VPN On Demand, which provides seamless, secure
wireless access to your enterprise network.
For two-factor token-based authentication, iPhone OS supports RSA SecurID and
CryptoCard. Users enter their PIN and token-generated, one-time password directly on
their device when establishing a VPN connection. For compatible Cisco VPN servers and
recommendations about configurations, see Appendix A.
iPhone, iPod touch and iPad also support shared secret authentication for Cisco IPSec
and L2TP/IPSec deployments, and MS-CHAPv2 for basic user name and password
authentication.
VPN Proxy auto-config (PAC and WPAD) is also supported, which allows you specify
proxy server settings for accessing specific URLs.
VPN Setup Guidelines
 iPhone OS integrates with most existing VPN networks, so minimal configuration is
necessary to enable devices to access to your network. The best way to prepare for
deployment is to check if your company’s existing VPN protocols and authentication
methods are supported by iPhone.
 Ensure compatibility with standards by your VPN concentrators. It’s also a good idea
to review the authentication path to your RADIUS or authentication server, to make
sure standards supported by iPhone OS are enabled within your implementation.
 Check with your solutions providers to confirm that your software and equipment
are up-to-date with the latest security patches and firmware.
18Chapter 1 Deploying iPhone and iPod touch
 If you want to configure URL-specific proxy settings, place a PAC file on a web server
that’s accessible with the basic VPN settings, and ensure that it’s served with a MIME
type of application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig. Alternatively, configure your DNS or DHCP
to provide the location of a WPAD file on a server that is similarly accessible.
IMAP Email
If you don’t use Microsoft Exchange, you can still implement a secure, standards-based
email solution using any email server that supports IMAP and is configured to require
user authentication and SSL. For example, you can access Lotus Notes/Domino or
Novell GroupWise email using this technique. The mail servers can be located within
a DMZ subnetwork, behind a corporate firewall, or both.
With SSL, iPhone OS supports 128-bit encryption and X.509 certificates issued by the
major certificate authorities. It also supports strong authentication methods including
industry-standard MD5 Challenge-Response and NTLMv2.
IMAP Network Setup Guidelines
 For additional security protection, install a digital certificate on the server from
a trusted certificate authority (CA). Installing a certificate from a CA is an important
step in ensuring that your proxy server is a trusted entity within your corporate
infrastructure. See “Credentials Settings” on page 38 for information about installing
certificates on iPhone.
 To let iPhone OS devices retrieve email from your server, open port 993 in the firewall
and make sure that the proxy server is set to IMAP over SSL.
 To let devices send email, port 587, 465, or 25 must be open. Port 587 is used first,
and is the best choice.
LDAP Directories
iPhone OS lets you access standards-based LDAP directory servers and provide
a global address directory or other information similar to the Global Address List in
Microsoft Exchange.
When an LDAP account is configured on the device, the device searches for the
attribute namingContexts at the server’s root level to identify the default search base.
The search scope is set to subtree by default.
CalDAV Calendars
CalDAV support in iPhone OS provides global calendars and scheduling for
organizations that don’t use Microsoft Exchange. iPhone OS works with calendar
servers that support the CalDAV standard.
Chapter 1 Deploying iPhone and iPod touch19
Subscribed Calendars
If you want to publish read-only calendars of corporate events, such as holidays or
special event schedules, iPhone OS devices can subscribe to calendars and display the
information alongside Microsoft Exchange and CalDAV calendars. iPhone OS works
with calendar files in the standard iCalendar (.ics) format.
An easy way to distribute subscribed calendars to your users is to send the fully
qualified URL in SMS or email. When the user taps the link, the device offers to
subscribe to the specified calendar.
Enterprise Applications
To deploy enterprise iPhone OS applications, you install the applications on your
devices using iPhone Configuration Utility or iTunes. Once you deploy an application to
users’ devices, updating those applications will be easier if each user has iTunes
installed on their Mac or PC.
Online Certificate Status Protocol
When you provide digital certificates for iPhone OS devices, consider issuing them so
they’re OCSP-enabled. This allows the device to ask your OCSP server if the certificate
has been revoked before using it.
Determining Device Passcode Policies
Once you decide which network services and data your users will access, you should
determine which device passcode policies you want to implement.
Requiring passcodes to be set on your devices is recommended for companies whose
networks, systems, or applications don’t require a password or an authentication token.
If you’re using certificate-based authentication for an 802.1X network or Cisco IPSec
VPN, or your enterprise application saves your login credentials, you should require
users to set a device passcode with a short timeout period so a lost or stolen device
cannot be used without knowing the device passcode.
Policies can be set on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad in either of two ways. If the device is
configured to access a Microsoft Exchange account, the Exchange ActiveSync policies
are wirelessly pushed to the device. This allows you to enforce and update the policies
without any user action. For information about EAS policies, see “Supported Exchange
ActiveSync Policies” on page 8.
If you don’t use Microsoft Exchange, you can set similar policies on your devices by
creating configuration profiles. If you want to change a policy, you must post or send
an updated profile to users or install the profile using iPhone Configuration Utility. For
information about the device passcode policies, see “Passcode Settings” on page 32.
20Chapter 1 Deploying iPhone and iPod touch
If you use Microsoft Exchange, you can also supplement your EAS policies by using
configuration policies. This can provide access to policies that aren’t available in
Microsoft Exchange 2003, for example, or allow you to define policies specifically for
iPhone OS devices.
Configuring Devices
You need to decide how you’ll configure each iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. This is
influenced in part by how many devices you plan on deploying and managing over
time. If the number is small, you may find that it’s simpler for you or your users to
manually configure each device. This involves using the device to enter the settings
for each mail account, Wi-Fi settings, and VPN configuration information. See Chapter 3
for details about manual configuration.
If you deploy a large number of devices, or you have a large collection of email
settings, network settings, and certificates to install, then you may want to configure
the devices by creating and distributing configuration profiles. Configuration profiles
quickly load settings and authorization information onto a device. Some VPN and Wi-Fi
settings can only be set using a configuration profile, and if you’re not using Microsoft
Exchange, you’ll need to use a configuration profile to set device passcode policies.
Configuration profiles can be encrypted and signed, which allows you to restrict their
use to a specific device, and prevents anyone from changing the settings that a profile
contains. You can also mark a profile as being locked to the device, so once installed it
cannot be removed without wiping the device of all data, or optionally, with an
administrative passcode.
Whether or not you’re configuring devices manually or using configuration profiles,
you also need to decide if you’ll configure the devices or if you will delegate this task to
your users. Which you choose depends on your users’ locations, company policy
regarding users’ ability to manage their own IT equipment, and the complexity of the
device configuration you intend to deploy. Configuration profiles work well for a large
enterprise, for remote employees, or for users that are unable to set up their own devices.
If you want users to activate their device themselves or if they need to install or update
enterprise applications, iTunes must be installed on each user’s Mac or PC. iTunes is also
required for iPhone OS software updates, so keep that in mind if you decide to not
distribute iTunes to your users. For information about deploying iTunes, see Chapter 4.
Chapter 1 Deploying iPhone and iPod touch21
Over-the-Air Enrollment and Configuration
Enrollment is the process of authenticating a device and user so that you can automate
the process of distributing certificates. Digital certificates provide many benefits to
users. They can be used to authenticate access to key enterprise services, such as
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, WPA2 Enterprise wireless networks, and corporate VPN
connections. Certificate-based authentication also permits the use of VPN On Demand
for seamless access to corporate networks.
In addition to using the over-the-air enrollment capabilities to issue certificates for your
company’s public key infrastructure (PKI), you can also deploy device configuration
profiles. This ensures that only trusted users are accessing corporate services and that
their devices are configured according to your IT policies. And because configuration
profiles can be both encrypted and locked, the settings cannot be removed, altered,
or shared with others. These capabilities are available to you in the over-the-air process
described below, and also by using iPhone Configuration Utility to configure devices
while they’re attached to your administrative computer. See Chapter 2 to learn about
using iPhone Configuration Utility.
Implementing over-the-air enrollment and configuration requires development and
integration of authentication, directory, and certificate services. The process can be
deployed using standard web services, and once it’s in place, it permits your users to
set up their devices in a secure, authenticated fashion.
Overview of the Authenticated Enrollment and Configuration Process
To implement this process, you need to create your own profile distribution service
that accepts HTTP connections, authenticates users, creates mobileconfig profiles,
and manages the overall process described in this section.
You also need a CA (certificate authority) to issue the device credentials using
Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP). For links to PKI, SCEP, and related topics
see “Other Resources” on page 27.
The following diagram shows the enrollment and configuration process that iPhone
supports.

User: Anne Johnson
Phase 1 – Begin Enrollment: Enrollment begins with the user using Safari to access
the URL of the profile distribution service you’ve created. You can distribute this URL via
SMS or email. The enrollment request, represented as step 1 in the diagram, should
authenticate the user’s identify. Authentication can be as simple as basic auth, or you
can tie into your existing directory services.
In step 2, your service sends a configuration profile (.mobileconfig) in response. This
response specifies a list of attributes that the device must provide in the next reply and
a pre-shared key (challenge) that can carry the identity of the user forward during this
process so you can customize the configuration process for each user. The device
attributes that the service can request are iPhone OS version, device ID (MAC Address),
product type (iPhone 3GS returns iPhone2,1), phone ID (IMEI), and SIM information (ICCID).
For a sample configuration profile for this phase, see “Sample Phase 1 Server Response”
on page 84.

identity (Apple-issued certificate), and sends it back to the profile distribution
service using HTTP Post.

In step 2, the SCEP request must be handled in automatic mode, using the challenge
from the SCEP packet to authenticate the request.
In step 3, the CA responds with an encryption certificate for the device.

Phase 4 – Device Configuration: In step 1, the device replies with the list of attributes,
signed using the encryption certificate provided by the CA in the previous phase.
In step 2, the profile service responds with an encrypted .mobileconfig file that’s
automatically installed. The profile service should sign the .mobileconfig file. Its SSL
certificate can be used for this purpose, for example.
In addition to general settings, this configuration profile should also define enterprise
policies that you want to enforce and it should be a locked profile so the user cannot
remove it from the device. The configuration profile can contain additional requests for
enrollment of identities using SCEP, which are executed as the profile is installed.
Similarly, when a certificate installed using SCEP expires or is otherwise invalidated,
the device asks the user to update the profile. When the user authorizes the request,
the device repeats the above process to obtain a new certificate and profile.
For a sample configuration profile for this phase, see “Sample Phase 4 Device
Response” on page 87.

Configuration profiles define how iPhone, iPad and
iPod touch work with your enterprise systems.
Configuration profiles are XML files that contain device security policies and
restrictions, VPN configuration information, Wi-Fi settings, email and calendar
accounts, and authentication credentials that permit iPhone, iPod touch, and
iPad to work with your enterprise systems.
You can install configuration profiles on devices connected to a computer via USB
using iPhone Configuration Utility, or you can distribute configuration profiles by
email or using a webpage. When users open the email attachment or download
the profile using Safari on their device, they are prompted to begin the installation
process.
If you prefer not to create and distribute configuration profiles, you can configure
devices manually. See Chapter 3 for information.

About iPhone Configuration Utility
iPhone Configuration Utility lets you easily create, encrypt and install configuration
profiles, track and install provisioning profiles and authorized applications, and capture
device information including console logs. When you run the iPhone Configuration
Utility installer, the utility is installed in /Applications/Utilities/ on Mac OS X, or in
Programs\iPhone Configuration Utility\ on Windows.
When you open iPhone Configuration Utility, a window similar to the one shown
below appears.
The content of the main section of the window changes as you select items in the sidebar.
The sidebar displays the Library, which contains the following categories:
 Devices shows a list of iPhone and iPod touch devices that have been connected to
your computer.
 Applications lists your applications that are available to install on devices attached
to your computer. A provisioning profile might be needed for an application to run
on a device.
 Provisioning Profiles lists profiles that permit the use of the device for iPhone OS
development, as authorized by Apple Developer Connection. For information,
see Chapter 5. Provisioning profiles also allow devices to run enterprise applications
that are not distributed using the iTunes Store.
 Configuration Profiles lists the configuration profiles you’ve previously created, and
lets you edit the information you entered, or create a new configuration that you can
send to a user or install on a connected device.
Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles29
The sidebar also displays Connected Devices, which shows information about the
iPhone OS devices currently connected to your computer’s USB port. Information
about a connected device is automatically added to the Devices list, so you can view
it again without having to reconnect the device. After a device has been connected,
you can also encrypt profiles for use on only that device.
When a device is connected, you can use iPhone Configuration Utility to install
configuration profiles and applications on the device. See “Installing Configuration
Profiles Using iPhone Configuration Utility” on page 40,“Installing Applications Using
iPhone Configuration Utility” on page 66 and “Installing Provisioning Profiles Using
iPhone Configuration Utility” on page 65 for details.
When a device is connected, you can also view console logs and any available crash
logs. These are the same device logs that are available for viewing within the Xcode
development environment on Mac OS X.
Creating Configuration Profiles
This document uses the terms configuration profile and payload. A configuration profile
is the whole file that configures certain (single or multiple) settings for iPhone,
iPod touch, or iPad. A payload is an individual collection of a certain type of settings,
such as VPN settings, within the configuration profile.
Although you can create a single configuration profile that contains all of the payloads
you need for your organization, consider creating one profile for certificates and
another one (or more) for other settings so you can update and distribute each type of
information separately. This also allows users to retain the certificates they’ve already
installed when installing a new profile that contains VPN or account settings.
Many of the payloads allow you to specify user names and passwords. If you omit this
information, the profile can be used by multiple users, but the user will be asked to
enter the missing information when the profile is installed. If you do personalize the
profile for each user, and include passwords, you should distribute the profile in
encrypted format to protect its contents. For more information see “Installing
Configuration Profiles” on page 40.
To create a new configuration profile, click the New button in the toolbar of iPhone
Configuration Utility. You add payloads to the profile using the payloads list. Then, you
edit the payloads by entering and selecting options that appear in the editing pane.
Required fields are marked with a red arrow. For some settings such as W-Fi, you can
click the Add (+) button to add configurations. To remove a configuration, click the
Delete (–) button in the editing pane.
To edit a payload, select the appropriate item in the payloads list, then click the
Configure button, and fill in the information as described below.
30Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles
Automating Configuration Profile Creation
You can also automate the creation of configuration files using AppleScript on a Mac,
or C# Script on Windows. To see the supported methods and their syntax, do the
following:
 Mac OS X: Use Script Editor to open the AppleScript Dictionary for iPhone
Configuration Utility.
 Windows: Use Visual Studio to view the method calls provided by iPCUScripting.dll.
To execute a script, on Mac, use the AppleScript Tell command. On Windows, pass the
script name to iPhone Configuration Utility as a command line parameter.
For examples, see Appendix C, “Sample Scripts.”
General Settings
This is where you provide the name and identifier of this profile, and specify if users are
allowed to remove the profile after it is installed.
The name you specify appears in the profiles list and is displayed on the device after
the configuration profile is installed. The name doesn’t have to be unique, but you
should use a descriptive name that identifies the profile.
The profile identifier must uniquely identify this profile and must use the format
com.companyname.identifier, where identifier describes the profile. (For example,
com.mycompany.homeoffice.)
Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles31
The identifier is important because when a profile is installed, the value is compared
with profiles that are already on the device. If the identifier is unique, information in
the profile is added to the device. If the identifier matches a profile already installed,
information in the profile replaces the settings already on the device, except in the case
of Exchange settings. To alter an Exchange account, the profile must first be manually
removed so that the data associated with the account can be purged.
To prevent a user from deleting a profile installed on a device, choose an option from
the Security pop-up menu. The With Authorization option allows you to specify an
authorization password that permits the removal of the profile on the device. If you
select the Never option, the profile can be updated with a new version, but it cannot
be removed.
Passcode Settings
Use this payload to set device policies if you aren’t using Exchange passcode policies.
You can specify whether a passcode is required in order to use the device, as well as
specify characteristics of the passcode and how often it must be changed. When the
configuration profile is loaded, the user is immediately required to enter a passcode
that meets the policies you select or the profile won’t be installed.
If you’re using device policies and Exchange passcode policies, the two sets of policies
are merged and the strictest of the settings is enforced. For information about supported
Exchange ActiveSync policies
, see “Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync” on page 8.
The following policies are available:
 Require passcode on device: Requires users to enter a passcode before using
the device. Otherwise, anyone who has the device can access all of its functions
and data.
 Allow simple value: Permits users to use sequential or repeated characters in their
passcodes. For example, this would allow the passcodes “3333” or “DEFG.”
 Require alphanumeric value: Requires that the passcode contain at least one letter
character.
 Minimum passcode length: Specifies the smallest number of characters a passcode
can contain.
 Minimum number of complex characters: The number of non-alphanumeric characters
(such as $, &, and !) that the passcode must contain.
 Maximum passcode age (in days): Requires users to change their passcode at the
interval you specify.
 Auto-Lock (in minutes): If the device isn’t used for this period of time, it automatically
locks. Entering the passcode unlocks it.
 Passcode history: A new passcode won’t be accepted if it matches a previously used
passcode. You can specify how many previous passcodes are remembered for this
comparison.
32Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles
 Grace period for device lock: Specifies how soon the device can be unlocked again
after use, without re-prompting for the passcode.
 Maximum number of failed attempts: Determines how many failed passcode attempts
can be made before the device is wiped. If you don’t change this setting, after six
failed passcode attempts, the device imposes a time delay before a passcode can be
entered again. The time delay increases with each failed attempt. After the eleventh
failed attempt, all data and settings are securely erased from the device. The
passcode time delays always begin after the sixth attempt, so if you set this value to
6 or lower, no time delays are imposed and the device is erased when the attempt
value is exceeded.
Restrictions Settings
Use this payload to specify which device features the user is allowed to use.
 Allow explicit content: When this is turned off, explicit music or video content
purchased from the iTunes Store is hidden. Explicit content is marked as such by
content providers, such as record labels, when sold through the iTunes Store.
 Allow use of Safari: When this option is turned off, the Safari web browser application
is disabled and its icon removed from the Home screen. This also prevents users from
opening web clips.
 Allow use of YouTube: When this option is turned off, the YouTube application is
disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen.
 Allow use of iTunes Music Store: When this option is turned off, the iTunes Music Store
is disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen. Users cannot preview,
purchase, or download content.
 Allow installing apps: When this option is turned off, the App Store is disabled and its
icon is removed from the Home screen. Users are unable to install or update their
applications.
 Allow use of camera: When this option is turned off, the camera is completely
disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen. Users are unable to take
photographs.
 Allow screen capture: When this option is turned off, users are unable to save a
screenshot of the display.
Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles33
Wi-Fi Settings
Use this payload to set how the device connects to your wireless network. You can add
multiple network configurations by clicking the Add (+) button in the editing pane.
These settings must be specified, and must match the requirements of your network,
in order for the user to initiate a connection.
 Service Set Identifier: Enter the SSID of the wireless network to connect to.
 Hidden Network: Specifies whether the network is broadcasting its identity.
 Security Type: Select an authentication method for the network. The following
choices are available for both Personal and Enterprise networks.
 None: The network doesn’t use authentication.
 WEP: The network uses WEP authentication only.
 WPA/WPA 2: The network uses WPA authentication only.
 Any: The device uses either WEP or WPA authentication when connecting to the
network, but won’t connect to non-authenticated networks.
 Password: Enter the password for joining the wireless network. If you leave this
blank, the user will be asked to enter it.
Enterprise Settings
In this section you specify settings for connecting to enterprise networks.
These settings appear when you choose an Enterprise setting in the Security Type
pop-up menu.
In the Protocols tab, you specify which EAP methods to use for authentication and
configure the EAP-FAST Protected Access Credential settings.
In the Authentication tab, you specify sign-in settings such as user name and
authentication protocols. If you’ve installed an identity using the Credentials section,
you can choose it using the Identity Certificate pop-up menu.
In the Trust tab, you specify which certificates should be regarded as trusted for the
purpose of validating the authentication server for the Wi-Fi connection. The Trusted
Certificates list displays certificates that have been added using the Credentials tab,
and lets you select which certificates should be regarded as trusted. Add the names of
the authentication servers to be trusted to the Trusted Server Certificates Names list.
You can specify a particular server, such as server.mycompany.com or a partial name
such as *.mycompany.com.
The Allow Trust Exceptions option lets users decide to trust a server when the chain of
trust can’t be established. To avoid these prompts, and to permit connections only to
trusted services, turn off this option and embed all necessary certificates in a profile.
34Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles
VPN Settings
Use this payload to enter the VPN settings for connecting to your network. You can add
multiple sets of VPN connections by clicking the Add (+) button.
For information about supported VPN protocols and authentication methods, see
“VPN” on page 10. The options available vary by the protocol and authentication
method you select.
VPN On Demand
For certificate-based IPSec configurations, you can turn on VPN On Demand so that a
VPN connection is automatically established when accessing certain domains.
The VPN On Demand options are:
SettingDescription
AlwaysInitiates a VPN connection for any address that matches the
specified domain.
NeverDoes not initiate a VPN connection for addresses that match the
specified domain, but if VPN is already active, it may be used.
Establish if neededInitiates a VPN connection for addresses that match the specified
domain only after a failed DNS look-up has occurred.
The action applies to all matching addresses. Addresses are compared using simple
string matching, starting from the end and working backwards. The address
“.example.org” matches “support.example.org” and “sales.example.org” but doesn’t
match “www.private-example.org”. However, if you specify the match domain as
“example.com”—notice there is not a period at the start—it matches “www.privateexample.com” and all the others.
Note that LDAP connections won’t initiate a VPN connection; if the VPN hasn’t already
been established by another application, such as Safari, the LDAP lookup fails.
VPN Proxy
iPhone supports manual VPN proxy, and automatic proxy configuration using PAC or
WPAD. To specify a VPN proxy, select an option from the Proxy Setup pop-up menu.
Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles35
For PAC-based auto-proxy configurations, select Automatic from the pop-up menu and
then enter the URL of a PAC file. For information about PACS capabilities and the file
format, see “Other Resources” on page 55.
For Web Proxy Autodiscovery (WPAD) configurations, select Automatic from the pop-up
menu. Leave the Proxy Server URL field empty, iPhone will request the WPAD file using
DHCP and DNS. For information about WPAD see “Other Resources” on page 55.
Email Settings
Use this payload to configure POP or IMAP mail accounts for the user. If you’re adding
an Exchange account, see Exchange Settings below.
Users can modify some of the mail settings you provide in a profile, such as the
account name, password, and alternative SMTP servers. If you omit any of this
information from the profile, users are asked to enter it when they access the account.
You can add multiple mail accounts by clicking the Add (+) button.
Exchange Settings
Use this payload to enter the user’s settings for your Exchange server. You can create
a profile for a specific user by specifying the user name, host name, and email address,
or you can provide just the host name—the users are prompted to fill in the other
values when they install the profile.
If you specify the user name, host name, and SSL setting in the profile, the user can’t
change these settings on the device.
You can configure only one Exchange account per device. Other email accounts,
including any Exchange via IMAP accounts, aren’t affected when you add an Exchange
account. Exchange accounts that are added using a profile are deleted when the profile
is removed, and can’t be otherwise deleted.
By default, Exchange syncs contacts, calendar, and email. The user can change these
settings on the device, including how many days worth of data to sync, in Settings >
Accounts.
If you select the Use SSL option, be sure to add the certificates necessary to
authenticate the connection using the Credentials pane.
To provide a certificate that identifies the user to the Exchange ActiveSync Server,
click the Add (+) button and then select an identity certificate from the Mac OS X
Keychain or Windows Certificate Store. After adding a certificate, you can specify the
Authentication Credential Name, if necessary for your ActiveSync configuration. You
can also embed the certificate’s passphrase in the configuration profile. If you don’t
provide the passphrase, the user is asked to enter it when the profile is installed.
36Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles
LDAP Settings
Use this payload to enter settings for connecting to an LDAPv3 directory. You can
specify multiple search bases for each directory, and you can configure multiple
directory connections by clicking the Add (+) button.
If you select the Use SSL option, be sure to add the certificates necessary to
authenticate the connection using the Credentials pane.
CalDAV Settings
Use this payload to provide accounts settings for connecting to a CalDAV-compliant
calendar server. These accounts will be added to the device, and as with Exchange
accounts, users need to manually enter information you omit from the profile, such as
their account password, when the profile is installed.
If you select the Use SSL option, be sure to add the certificates necessary to
authenticate the connection using the Credentials pane.
You can configure multiple accounts by clicking the Add (+) button.
Subscribed Calendars Settings
Use this payload to add read-only calendar subscriptions to the device’s Calendar
application. You can configure multiple subscriptions by clicking the Add (+) button.
A list of public calendars you can subscribe to is available at
www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/.
If you select the Use SSL option, be sure to add the certificates necessary to
authenticate the connection using the Credentials pane.
Web Clip Settings
Use this payload to add web clips to the Home screen of the user’s device. Web clips
provide fast access to favorite web pages.
Make sure the URL you enter includes the prefix http:// or https://—this is required
for the web clip to function correctly. For example, to add the online version of
the iPhone User Guide to the Home screen, specify the web clip URL:
http://help.apple.com/iphone/
To add a custom icon, select a graphic file in gif, jpeg, or png format, 59 x 60 pixels in
size. The image is automatically scaled and cropped to fit, and converted to png format
if necessary.
Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles37
Credentials Settings
Use this payload to add certificates and identities to the device. For information about
supported formats, see “Certificates and Identities” on page 11.
When installing credentials, also install the intermediate certificates that are necessary
to establish a chain to a trusted certificate that’s on the device. To view a list of the
preinstalled roots, see the Apple Support article at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2185.
If you’re adding an identify for use with Microsoft Exchange, use the Exchange payload
instead. See “Exchange Settings” on page 36.
Adding credentials on Mac OS X:
1 Click the Add (+) button.
2 In the file dialog that appears, select a PKCS1 or PKSC12 file, then click Open.
If the certificate or identity that you want to install in your Keychain, use Keychain
Access to export it in .p12 format. Keychain Access is located in /Applications/Utilities.
For help see Keychain Access Help, available in the Help menu when Keychain Access
is open.
To add multiple credentials to the configuration profile, click the Add (+) button again.
Adding credentials on Windows:
1 Click the Add (+) button.
2 Select the credential that you want to install from the Windows Certificate Store.
If the credential isn’t available in your personal certificate store, you must add it, and
the private key must be marked as exportable, which is one of the steps offered by the
certificate import wizard. Note that adding root certificates requires administrative
access to the computer, and the certificate must be added to the personal store.
If you’re using multiple configuration profiles, make sure certificates aren’t duplicated.
You cannot install multiple copies of the same certificate.
Instead of installing certificates using a configuration profile, you can let users use
Safari to download the certificates directly to their device from a webpage. Or, you can
email certificates to users. See “Installing Identities and Root Certificates” on page 54
for more information. You can also use the SCEP Settings, below, to specify how the
device obtains certificates over-the-air when the profile is installed.
38Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles
SCEP Settings
The SCEP payload lets you specify settings that allow the device to obtain certificates
from a CA using Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP).
SettingDescription
URLThis is the address of the SCEP server.
NameThis can be any string that will be understood by the certificate
authority, it can be used to distinguish between instances, for
example.
SubjectThe representation of a X.500 name represented as an array of OID
and value. For example, /C=US/O=Apple Inc./CN=foo/1.2.5.3=bar,
which would translate to:
ChallengeA pre-shared secret the SCEP server can use to identify the request
or user.
Key Size and UsageSelect a key size, and—using the checkboxes below this field—the
acceptable use of the key.
FingerprintIf your Certificate Authority uses HTTP, use this field to provide the
fingerprint of the CA’s certificate which the device will use to
confirm authenticity of the CA’s response. during the enrollment
process. You can enter a SHA1 or MD5 fingerprint, or select a
certificate to import its signature.
For more information about how the iPhone obtains certificates wirelessly,
see “Over-the-Air Enrollment and Configuration” on page 22.
Advanced Settings
The Advanced payload lets you change the device’s Access Point Name (APN) and cell
network proxy settings. These settings define how the device connects to the carrier’s
network. Change these settings only when specifically directed to do so by a carrier
network expert. If these settings are incorrect, the device can’t access data using the
cellular network. To undo an inadvertent change to these settings, delete the profile
from the device. Apple recommends that you define APN settings in a configuration
profile separate from other enterprise settings, because profiles that specify APN
information must be signed by your cell service provider.
iPhone OS supports APN user names of up to 20 characters, and passwords of up to
32 characters.
Editing Configuration Profiles
In iPhone Configuration Utility, select a profile in the Configuration Profiles list, and
then use the payload list and editing panes to make changes. You can also import a
profile by choosing File > Add to Library and then selecting a .mobileconfig file. If the
settings panes aren’t visible, choose View > Show Detail.
Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles39
The Identifier field in the General payload is used by the device to determine whether a
profile is new, or an update to an existing profile. If you want the updated profile to
replace one that users have already installed, don’t change the Identifier.
Installing Provisioning Profiles and Applications
iPhone Configuration Utility can install applications and distribution provisioning
profiles on devices attached to the computer. For details, see Chapter 5, “Deploying
Applications,” on page 63.
Installing Configuration Profiles
After you’ve created a profile, you can connect a device and install the profile using
iPhone Configuration Utility.
Alternatively, you can distribute the profile to users by email, or by posting it to a
website. When users use their device to open an email message or download the
profile from the web, they’re prompted to start the installation process.
Installing Configuration Profiles Using iPhone Configuration Utility
You can install configuration profiles directly on a device that has been updated to
iPhone OS 3.0 or later and is attached to your computer. You can also use iPhone
Configuration Utility to remove previously installed profiles.
To install a configuration profile:
1 Connect the device to your computer using a USB cable.
After a moment, the device appears in the Devices list in iPhone Configuration Utility.
2 Select the device, and then click the Configuration Profiles tab.
3 Select a configuration profile from the list, and then click Install.
4 On the device, tap Install to install the profile.
When you install directly onto a device using USB, the configuration profile is
automatically signed and encrypted before being transferred to the device.
Distributing Configuration Profiles by Email
You can distribute configuration profiles using email. Users install the profile by
receiving the message on their device, then tapping the attachment to install it.
To email a configuration profile:
1 Click the Share button in the iPhone Configuration Utility toolbar.
In the dialog that appears, select a security option:
a None: A plain text .mobileconfig file is created. It can be installed on any device.
Some content in the file is obfuscated to prevent casual snooping if the file is examined.
40Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles
b Sign Configuration Profile: The .mobileconfig file is signed and won’t be installed by
a device if it’s altered. Some fields are obfuscated to prevent casual snooping if the
file is examined. Once installed, the profile can only be updated by a profile that has
the same identifier and is signed by the same copy of iPhone Configuration Utility.
c Sign and Encrypt Profile: Signs the profile so it cannot be altered, and encrypts all
of the contents so the profile cannot be examined and can only be installed on
a specific device. If the profile contains passwords, this option is recommended.
Separate .mobileconfig files will be created for each of the devices you select from
the Devices list. If a device does not appear in the list, it either hasn’t been previously
connected to the computer so that the encryption key can be obtained, or it hasn’t
been upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0 or later.
2 Click Share, and new Mail (Mac OS X) or Outlook (Windows) message opens with the
profiles added as uncompressed attachments. The files must be uncompressed for the
device to recognize and install the profile.
Distributing Configuration Profiles on the Web
You can distribute configuration profiles using a website. Users install the profile by
downloading it using Safari on their device. To easily distribute the URL to your users,
send it via SMS.
To export a configuration profile:
1 Click the Export button in the iPhone Configuration Utility toolbar.
In the dialog that appears, select a security option:
a None: A plain text .mobileconfig file is created. It can be installed on any device.
Some content in the file is obfuscated to prevent casual snooping if the file is
examined, but you should make sure that when you put the file on your website it’s
accessible only by authorized users.
b Sign Configuration Profile: The .mobileconfig file is signed and won’t be installed by
a device if it’s altered. Once installed, the profile can only be updated by a profile that
has the same identifier and is signed by the same copy of iPhone Configuration
Utility. Some of the information in the profile is obfuscated to prevent casual
snooping if the file is examined, but you should make sure that when you put the file
on your website, it’s accessible only by authorized users.
c Sign and Encrypt Profile: Signs the profile so it cannot be altered, and encrypts all
of the contents so the profile cannot be examined and can only be installed on
a specific device. Separate .mobileconfig files will be created for each of the devices
you select from the Devices list.
2 Click Export, then select a location to save the .mobileconfig files.
The files are ready for posting on your website. Don’t compress the .mobileconfig file or
change its extension, or the device won’t recognize or install the profile.
Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles41
User Installation of Downloaded Configuration Profiles
Provide your users with the URL where they can download the profiles onto their
devices, or send the profiles to an email account your users can access using the device
before it’s set up with your enterprise-specific information.
When a user downloads the profile from the web, or opens the attachment using Mail,
the device recognizes the .mobileconfig extension as a profile and begins installation
when the user taps Install.
During installation, the user is asked to enter any necessary information, such as
passwords that were not specified in the profile, and other information as required by
the settings you specified.
The device also retrieves the Exchange ActiveSync policies from the server, and will
refresh the policies, if they’ve changed, with every subsequent connection. If the device
or Exchange ActiveSync policies enforce a passcode setting, the user must enter a
passcode that complies with the policy in order to complete the installation.
Additionally, the user is asked to enter any passwords necessary to use certificates
included in the profile.
If the installation isn’t completed successfully—perhaps because the Exchange server
was unreachable or the user cancelled the process—none of the information entered
by the user is retained.
Users may want to change how many days worth of messages are synced to the device
and which mail folders other than the inbox are synced. The defaults are three days and
all folders. Users can change these by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars >
Exchange account name.
42Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles
Removing and Updating Configuration Profiles
Configuration profile updates aren’t pushed to users. Distribute the updated profiles to
your users for them to install. As long as the profile identifier matches, and if signed, it
has been signed by the same copy of iPhone Configuration Utility, the new profile
replaces the profile on the device.
Settings enforced by a configuration profile cannot be changed on the device.
To change a setting, you must install an updated profile. If the profile was signed, it
can be replaced only by a profile signed by the same copy of iPhone Configuration
Utility. The identifier in both profiles must match in order for the updated profile
to be recognized as a replacement. For more information about the identifier, see
“General Settings” on page 31.
Important: Removing a configuration profile removes policies and all of the Exchange
account’s data stored on the device, as well as VPN settings, certificates, and other
information, including mail messages, associated with the profile.
If the General Settings payload of the profile specifies that it cannot be removed by
the user, the Remove button won’t appear. If the settings allows removal using an
authorization password, the user will be asked to enter the password after tapping
Remove. For more information about profile security settings, see “General Settings” on
page 31.
Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles43
3Manually Configuring Devices
This chapter describes how to manually configure iPhone,
iPod touch, and iPad.
If you don’t provide automatic configuration profiles, users can configure their
devices manually. Some settings, such as passcode policies, can only be set by using
a configuration profile.
VPN Settings
To change VPN settings, go to Settings > General > Network > VPN.
When you configure VPN settings, the device asks you to enter information based on
responses it receives from your VPN server. For example, you’ll be asked for an RSA
SecurID token if the server requires one.

UsernameThe user name of the user’s Exchange account.
PasswordThe password of the user’s Exchange account.
DescriptionA descriptive title that identifies this account.
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad support Microsoft’s Autodiscover service, which uses your
user name and password to determine the address of the front-end Exchange server. If
the server’s address can’t be determined, you’ll be asked to enter it.
If your Exchange server listens for connections on a port other than 443, specify the
port number in the Server field using the format exchange.example.com:portnumber.
Chapter 3 Manually Configuring Devices49
After the Exchange account is successfully configured, the server’s passcode policies are
enforced. If the user’s current passcode doesn’t comply with the Exchange ActiveSync
policies, the user is prompted to change or set the passcode. The device won’t
communicate with the Exchange server until the user sets a compliant passcode.
Next, the device offers to immediately sync with the Exchange server. If you choose not
to sync at this time, you can turn on calendar and contact syncing later in Settings >
Mail, Contacts, Calendars. By default, Exchange ActiveSync pushes new data to your
device as it arrives on the server. If you prefer to fetch new data on a schedule or to
only pull new data manually, use Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data
to change the settings.
To change how many days’ worth of mail messages are synced to your device, go to
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then select the Exchange account. You can
also select which folders, in addition to the inbox, are included in push email delivery.
To change the setting for calendar data go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars >
Sync.

then tap Save. You can also specify whether alarms that are set in the calendar should
be removed when the calendar is added to the device.
In addition to adding calendar subscriptions manually, you can send users a webcal://
URL (or an http:// link to a .ics file) and, after the user taps the link, the device will offer
to add it as a subscribed calendar.
Chapter 3 Manually Configuring Devices53
Installing Identities and Root Certificates
If you don’t distribute certificates using profiles, your users can install them manually by
using the device to download them from a website, or by opening an attachment in an
email message. The device recognizes certificates with the following MIME types and
file extensions:
 application/x-pkcs12, .p12, .pfx
 application/x-x509-ca-cert, .cer, .crt, .der
See “Certificates and Identities” on page 11 for more information about supported
formats and other requirements.
When a certificate or identity is downloaded to the device, the Install Profile screen
appears. The description indicates the type: identity or certificate authority. To install
the certificate, tap Install. If it’s an identity certificate, you’ll be asked to enter the
certificate’s password.
To view or remove an installed certificate, go to Settings > General > Profile. If you
remove a certificate that’s required for accessing an account or network, your device
cannot connect to those services.
54Chapter 3 Manually Configuring Devices
Additional Mail Accounts
You can configure only one Exchange account, but you can add multiple POP and
IMAP accounts. This can be used, for example, to access mail on a Lotus Notes or
Novell Groupwise mail server. Go to Settings > Accounts > Mail, Contacts, Calendars >
Add Account > Other. For more about adding an IMAP account, see the
iPhone User Guide, iPod touch User Guide, or iPad User Guide.

4Deploying iTunes
4
You use iTunes to sync music and video, install applications,
and more.
This chapter describes how to deploy iTunes and enterprise applications, and defines
the settings and restrictions you can specify.
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad can sync each type of data (music, media, etc) to only one
computer at a time. For example, you can sync music with a desktop computer and
bookmarks with a portable computer, by setting iTunes sync options appropriately
on both computers. See iTunes Help, available in the Help menu when iTunes is open,
for more information about sync options.
Installing iTunes
iTunes uses standard Macintosh and Windows installers. The latest version and a list of
system requirements is available for downloading at www.itunes.com.
57
For information about licensing requirements for distributing iTunes, see:
http://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/itunes.html
Installing iTunes on Windows Computers
When you install iTunes on Windows computers, by default you also install the latest
version of QuickTime, Bonjour, and Apple Software Update. You can omit these
components by passing parameters to the iTunes installer, or by pushing only the
components you want to install on your users’ computers.
Installing on Windows using iTunesSetup.exe
If you plan to use the regular iTunes installation process but omit some components,
you can pass properties to iTunesSetup.exe using the command line.
PropertyMeaning
NO_AMDS=1Don’t install Apple Mobile Device Services. This component is
required for iTunes to sync and manage mobile devices.
NO_ASUW=1Don’t install Apple Software Update for Windows. This application
discovery of printers, shared iTunes libraries, and other services.
NO_QUICKTIME=1Don’t install QuickTime. This component is required to use iTunes.
Don’t omit QuickTime unless you’re sure the client computer
already has the latest version installed.
Silently Installing on Windows
To silently install iTunes, extract the individual .msi files from iTunesSetup.exe, then push
the files to client computers.
To extract .msi files from iTunesSetup.exe:
1 Run iTunesSetup.exe.
2 Open %temp% and find a folder named IXPnnn.TMP, where %temp% is your temporary
directory and nnn is a 3-digit random number. On Windows XP, the temporary directory
is typically bootdrive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\temp\. On Windows
Vista, the temporary directory is typically \Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\.
3 Copy the .msi files from the folder to another location.
4 Quit the installer opened by iTunesSetup.exe.
Then use Group Policy Object Editor, in the Microsoft Management Console, to add the
.msi files to a Computer Configuration policy. Make sure to add the configuration to the
Computer Configuration policy, not the User Configuration policy.
Important: iTunes requires QuickTime and Apple Application Support. Apple
Application Support must be installed before installing iTunes. Apple Mobile Device
Services (AMDS) is necessary to use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes.
Before pushing the .msi files, you need to select which localized versions of iTunes you
want to install. To do so, open the .msi in the ORCA tool, which is installed by the
Windows SDK as Orca.msi, in bin\. Then edit the summary information stream and
remove the languages that you don’t want to install. (Locale ID1033 is English.)
Alternatively, use the Group Policy Object Editor to change the deployment properties
of the .msi files to Ignore Language.
58Chapter 4 Deploying iTunes
Installing iTunes on Macintosh Computers
Mac computers come with iTunes installed. The latest version of iTunes is available
at www.itunes.com. To push iTunes to Mac clients, you can use Workgroup Manager,
an administrative tool included with Mac OS X Server.
Quickly Activating Devices with iTunes
Before a new iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad can be used, it must be activated by
connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes. Normally, after activating a device,
iTunes offers to sync the device with the computer. To avoid this when you’re setting
up a device for someone else, turn on activation-only mode. This causes iTunes to
automatically eject a device after it’s activated. The device is then ready to configure,
but doesn’t have any media or data.
To turn on activation-only mode on Mac OS X:
1 Make sure iTunes isn’t running, and then open Terminal.
You can also create a shortcut, or edit the iTunes shortcut you already have, to include
these commands so you can quickly toggle activation-only mode.
To verify that iTunes is in activation-only mode, choose iTunes > About iTunes and look
for the text “Activation-only mode” under the iTunes version and build identifier.
Chapter 4 Deploying iTunes59
Using Activation-Only Mode
Make sure that you’ve turned on activation-only mode as described above, and then
follow these steps.
1 If you’re activating an iPhone, insert an activated SIM card. Use the SIM eject tool, or a
straightened paper clip, to eject the SIM tray. See the iPhone User Guide for details.
2 Connect iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to the computer. The computer must be
connected to the Internet to activate the device.
iTunes opens, if necessary, and activates the device. A message appears when the
device is successfully activated.
3 Disconnect the device.
You can immediately connect and activate additional devices. iTunes won’t sync with
any device while activation-only mode is on, so don’t forget to turn activation-only
mode off if you plan on using iTunes to sync devices.
Setting iTunes Restrictions
You can restrict your users from using certain iTunes features. This is sometimes
referred to as parental controls. The following features can be restricted:
 Automatic and user-initiated checking for new versions of iTunes and device
software updates
 Displaying Genius suggestions while browsing or playing media
 Automatically syncing when devices are connected
 Downloading album artwork
 Using Visualizer plug-ins
 Entering a URL of streaming media
 Automatically discovering Apple TV systems
 Registering new devices with Apple
 Subscribing to podcasts
 Playing Internet radio
 Accessing the iTunes Store
 Library sharing with local network computers also running iTunes
 Playing iTunes media content that is marked as explicit
 Playing movies
 Playing TV shows
60Chapter 4 Deploying iTunes
Setting iTunes Restrictions for Mac OS X
On Mac OS X, you control access by using keys in a plist file. On Mac OS X the key
values shown above can be specified for each user by editing ~/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.iTunes.plist using Workgroup Manager, an administrative tool included with
Mac OS X Server.
For instructions, see the Apple Support article at http://docs.info.apple.com/
article.html?artnum=303099.
Setting iTunes Restrictions for Windows
On Windows, you control access by setting registry values inside one of the following
registry keys:
On Windows XP and 32-bit Windows Vista:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\[SID]\Parental
Controls\
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls
On 64-bit Windows Vista:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Apple Computer,
Inc.\iTunes\[SID]\Parental Controls\
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Apple Computer,
Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls
For information about the iTunes registry values, see the Apple Support article at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102.
For general information about editing the Windows registry, see the Microsoft Help and
Support article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/136393.
Updating iTunes and iPhone OS Manually
If you turn off automated and user-initiated software update checking in iTunes,
you’ll need to distribute software updates to users for manual installation.
To update iTunes, see the installation and deployment steps described earlier in this
document. It’s the same process you followed for distributing iTunes to your users.
Chapter 4 Deploying iTunes61
To update iPhone OS, follow these steps:
1 On a computer that doesn’t have iTunes software updating turned off, use iTunes to
download the software update. To do so, select an attached device in iTunes, click the
Summary tab, and then click the “Check for Update” button.
2 After downloading, copy the updater file (.ipsw) found in the following location:
 On Mac OS X: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/
 On Windows XP:bootdrive:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\
Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates\
3 Distribute the .ipsw file to your users, or place it on the network where they can
access it.
4 Tell your users to back up their device with iTunes before applying the update. During
manual updates, iTunes doesn’t automatically back up the device before installation.
To create a new backup, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac) the device in the
iTunes sidebar. Then choose Back Up from the contextual menu that appears.
5 Your users install the update by connecting their device to iTunes, then selecting the
Summary tab for their device. Next, they hold down the Option (Mac) or Shift
(Windows) key and click the “Check for Update” button.
6 A file selector dialog appears. Users should select the .ipsw file and then click Open to
begin the update process.
Backing Up a Device with iTunes
When iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad is synced with iTunes, device settings are
automatically backed up to the computer. Applications purchased from the App Store
are copied to the iTunes Library.
Applications you’ve developed yourself, and distributed to your users with enterprise
distribution profiles, won’t be backed up or transferred to the user’s computer. But the
device backup will include any data files your application creates.
Device backups can be stored in encrypted format by selecting the Encrypt Backup
option for the device in the summary pane of iTunes. Files are encrypted using AES256.
The key is stored securely in the iPhone OS keychain.
Important: If the device being backed up has any encrypted profiles installed, iTunes
requires the user to enable backup encryption.
62Chapter 4 Deploying iTunes
5Deploying Applications
5
You can distribute iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad applications
to your users.
If you want to install iPhone OS applications that you’ve developed, you distribute the
application to your users, who install the applications using iTunes.
Applications from the online App Store work on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad without
any additional steps. If you develop an application that you want to distribute yourself,
it must be digitally signed with a certificate issued by Apple. You must also provide
your users with a distribution provisioning profile that allows their device to use the
application.
The process for deploying your own applications is:
 Register for enterprise development with Apple.
 Sign your applications using your certificate.
 Create an enterprise distribution provisioning profile that authorizes devices to use
applications you’ve signed.
 Deploy the application and the enterprise distribution provisioning profile to your
users’ computers.
 Instruct users to install the application and profile using iTunes.
63
See below for more about each of these steps.
Registering for Application Development
To develop and deploy custom applications for iPhone OS, first register for the iPhone
Enterprise Developer Program at http://developer.apple.com/.
Once you complete the registration process, you’ll receive instructions for enabling
your applications to work on devices.
Signing Applications
Applications you distribute to users must be signed with your distribution certificate.
For instructions about obtaining and using a certificate, see the iPhone Developer
Center at http://developer.apple.com/iphone.
Creating the Distribution Provisioning Profile
Distribution provisioning profiles let you create applications that your users can use on
their device. You create an enterprise distribution provisioning profile for a specific
application, or multiple applications, by specifying the AppID that is authorized by the
profile. If a user has an application, but doesn’t have a profile that authorizes its use, the
user isn’t able to use the application.
The designated Team Agent for your enterprise can create distribution provisioning
profiles at the Enterprise Program Portal at http://developer.apple.com/iphone.
See the website for instructions.
Once you create the enterprise distribution provisioning profile, download the
.mobileprovision file, and then securely distribute it and your application.
Installing Provisioning Profiles Using iTunes
The user’s installed copy of iTunes automatically installs provisioning profiles that are
located in the following folders defined in this section. If the folders don’t exist, create
them using the names shown.

Using Enterprise Applications
When a user runs an application that isn’t signed by Apple, the device looks for a
distribution provisioning profile that authorizes its use. If a profile isn’t found, the
application won’t open.
Disabling an Enterprise Application
If you need to disable an in-house application, you can do so by revoking the identity
used to sign the distribution provisioning profile. The application will no longer be able
to be installed, and if it’s already installed, it will no longer open.

ACisco VPN Server Configuration
Use these guidelines to configure your Cisco VPN server for
use with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
Supported Cisco Platforms
iPhone OS supports Cisco ASA 5500 Security Appliances and PIX Firewalls configured
with 7.2.x software or later. The latest 8.0.x software release (or later) is recommended.
iPhone OS also supports Cisco IOS VPN routers with IOS version 12.4(15)T or later. VPN
3000 Series Concentrators don’t support iPhone VPN capabilities.
Authentication Methods
iPhone OS supports the following authentication methods:
 Pre-shared key IPSec authentication with user authentication via xauth
 Client and server certificates for IPSec authentication with optional user
authentication via xauth
 Hybrid authentication where the server provides a certificate and the client provides
a pre-shared key for IPSec authentication; user authentication is required via xauth.
 User authentication is provided via xauth and includes the following authentication
methods:
 User name with password
 RSA SecurID
 CryptoCard
Appendix A Cisco VPN Server Configuration67
Authentication Groups
The Cisco Unity protocol uses authentication groups to group users together based on
a common set of authentication and other parameters. You should create an
authentication group for iPhone OS device users. For pre-shared key and hybrid
authentication, the group name must be configured on the device with the group’s
shared secret (pre-shared key) as the group password.
When using certificate authentication, no shared secret is used and the user’s group is
determined based on fields in the certificate. The Cisco server settings can be used to
map fields in a certificate to user groups.
Certificates
When setting up and installing certificates, make sure of the following:
 The server identity certificate must contain the server’s DNS name and/or IP address
in the subject alternate name (SubjectAltName) field. The device uses this
information to verify that the certificate belongs to the server. You can specify the
SubjectAltName using wildcard characters for per-segment matching, such as
vpn.*.mycompany.com, for more flexibility. The DNS name can be put in the common
name field, if no SubjectAltName is specified.
 The certificate of the CA that signed the server’s certificate should be installed on the
device. If it isn’t a root certificate, install the rest of the trust chain so that the
certificate is trusted.
 If client certificates are used, make sure that the trusted CA certificate that signed the
client’s certificate is installed on the VPN server.
 The certificates and certificate authorities must be valid (not expired, for example.).
 Sending of certificate chains by the server isn’t supported and should be turned off.
 When using certificate-based authentication, make sure that the server is set up to
identify the user’s group based on fields in the client certificate. See “Authentication
Groups” on page 68.
68Appendix A Cisco VPN Server Configuration
IPSec Settings
Use the following IPSec settings:
 Mode: Tunnel Mode
 IKE Exchange Modes: Aggressive Mode for pre-shared key and hybrid authentication,
Main Mode for certificate authentication.
 Encryption Algorithms: 3DES, AES-128, AES-256
 Authentication Algorithms: HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1
 Diffie Hellman Groups: Group 2 is required for pre-shared key and hybrid.
authentication. For certificate authentication, use Group 2 with 3DES and AES-128.
Use Group 2 or 5 with AES-256.
 PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy): For IKE phase 2, if PFS is used the Diffie-Hellman group
must be the same as was used for IKE phase 1.
 Mode Configuration: Must be enabled.
 Dead Peer Detection: Recommended.
 Standard NAT Transversal: Supported and can be enabled if desired. (IPSec over TCP
isn’t supported).
 Load Balancing: Supported and can be enabled if desired.
 Re-keying of Phase 1: Not currently supported. Recommend that re-keying times on
the server be set to approximately one hour.
 ASA Address Mask: Make sure that all device address pool masks are either not set,
or are set to 255.255.255.255. For example:
asa(config-webvpn)# ip local pool vpn_users 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.254 mask
255.255.255.255.
When using the recommended address mask, some routes assumed by the VPN
configuration might be ignored. To avoid this, make sure that your routing table
contains all necessary routes and verify that the subnet addresses are accessible
before deployment.
Other Supported Features
iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad support the following features:
 Application Version: The client software version is sent to the server, allowing the
server to accept or reject connections based on the device’s software version.
 Banner: The banner, if configured on the server, is displayed on the device and the
user must accept it or disconnect.
 Split Tunnel: Split tunneling is supported.
 Split DNS: Split DNS is supported.
 Default Domain: Default domain is supported.
Appendix A Cisco VPN Server Configuration69
BConfiguration Profile Format
B
This appendix specifies the format of mobileconfig files for
those who want to create their own tools.
This document assumes that you’re familiar with the Apple XML DTD and the general
property list format. A general description of the Apple plist format is available at
www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd. To get started, use iPhone Configuration
Utility to create a skeleton file that you can modify using the information in this
appendix.
This document uses the terms payload and profile. A profile is the whole file that
configures certain (single or multiple) settings on iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. A
payload is an individual component of the profile file.
Root Level
At the root level, the configuration file is a dictionary with the following key/value pairs:
Appendix
70
KeyValue
PayloadVersionNumber, mandatory. The version of the whole configuration
profile file. This version number designates the format of the
whole profile, not the individual payloads.
PayloadUUIDString, mandatory. This is usually a synthetically generated
unique identifier string. The exact content of this string is
irrelevant; however, it must be globally unique. On Mac OS X,
you can generate UUIDs with /usr/bin/uuidgen.
PayloadTypeString, mandatory. Currently, only “Configuration” is a valid value
for this key.
PayloadOrganizationString, optional. This value describes the issuing organization of
the profile, as displayed to the user.
KeyValue
PayloadIdentifierString, mandatory. This value is by convention a dot-delimited
string uniquely describing the profile, such as
“com.myCorp.iPhone.mailSettings” or
“edu.myCollege.students.vpn”. This is the string by which profiles
are differentiated—if a profile is installed which matches the
identifier of another profile, it overrides it (instead of being
added).
PayloadDisplayNameString, mandatory. This value determines a very short string to
be displayed to the user describing the profile, such as “VPN
Settings”. It does not have to be unique.
PayloadDescriptionString, optional. This value determines what descriptive, free-
form text will be shown to the user on the Detail screen for the
entire profile. This string should clearly identify the profile so the
user can decide whether to install it.
PayloadContentArray, optional. This value is the actual content of the profile.
If it is omitted, the whole profile has no functional meaning.
PayloadRemovalDisallowedBoolean, optional. Default is No. If set, the user won’t be able to
delete the profile. A profile with this set can be updated via USB
or web/email only if the profile identifier matches and is signed
by the same authority. If a removal password is provided, the
profile can be deleted by specifying the password.
With signed and encrypted profiles, having this locking bit in
plain view is without consequence because the profile can’t be
altered and this setting is also shown on the device.
Payload Content
The PayloadContent array is an array of dictionaries, where each dictionary describes an
individual payload of the profile. Each functional profile has at least one or more entries
in this array. Each dictionary in this array has a few common properties, regardless of
the payload type. Others are specialized and unique to each payload type.
KeyValue
PayloadVersionNumber, mandatory. The version of the individual payload.
Each profile can consist of payloads with different version numbers.
For instance, the VPN version number can be incremented at a
point in the future while the Mail version number would not.
PayloadUUIDString, mandatory. This is usually a synthetically generated unique
identifier string. The exact content of this string is irrelevant;
however, it must be globally unique.
PayloadTypeString, mandatory. This key/value pair determines the type of the
individual payload within the profile.
PayloadOrganizationString, optional. This value describes the issuing organization of the
profile, as it will be shown to the user. It can be, but doesn’t have to
be, the same as the root level PayloadOrganization.
Appendix B Configuration Profile Format71
KeyValue
PayloadIdentifierString, mandatory. This value is by convention a dot-delimited
string uniquely describing the payload. It’s usually the root
PayloadIdentifier with an appended subidentifier, describing the
particular payload.
PayloadDisplayNameString, mandatory. This value is a very short string displayed to the
user which describes the profile, such as “VPN Settings”. It does not
have to be unique.
PayloadDescriptionString, optional. This value determines what descriptive, free-form
text is displayed on the Detail screen for this particular payload.
Profile Removal Password Payload
The Removal Password payload is designated by the
com.apple.profileRemovalPassword value of PayloadType. It’s purpose is to encode the
password that allows users to remove a configuration profile from the device. If this
payload is present, and has a password value set, the device will ask for the password
when the user taps a profile’s Remove button. This payload is encrypted with the rest of
the profile.
KeyValue
RemovalPasswordString, optional. Specifies the removal password for the profile.
Passcode Policy Payload
The Passcode Policy payload is designated by the
com.apple.mobiledevice.passwordpolicy PayloadType value. The presence of this
payload type prompts device to present the user with an alphanumeric passcode entry
mechanism, which allows the entry of arbitrarily long and complex passcodes.
In addition to the settings common to all payloads, this payload defines the following:
KeyValue
allowSimpleBoolean, optional. Default YES. Determines whether a simple
passcode is allowed. A simple passcode is defined as containing
repeated characters, or increasing/decreasing characters (such
as 123 or CBA). Setting this value to “NO” is synonymous to
setting minComplexChars to “1”.
forcePINBoolean, optional. Default NO. Determines whether the user is
forced to set a PIN. Simply setting this value (and not others)
forces the user to enter a passcode, without imposing a length
or quality.
72Appendix B Configuration Profile Format
KeyValue
maxFailedAttemptsNumber, optional. Default 11. Allowed range [2...11]. Specifies the
number of allowed failed attempts to enter the passcode at the
device’s lock screen. Once this number is exceeded, the device is
locked and must be connected to its designated iTunes in order
to be unlocked.
maxInactivityNumber, optional. Default Infinity. Specifies the number of
minutes for which the device can be idle (without being
unlocked by the user) before it’s locked by the system. Once this
limit is reached, the device is locked and the passcode must be
entered.
maxPINAgeInDaysNumber, optional. Default Infinity. Specifies the number of days
for which the passcode can remain unchanged. After this
number of days, the user is forced to change the passcode
before the device is unlocked.
minComplexCharsNumber, optional. Default 0. Specifies the minimum number of
complex characters that a passcode must contain. A “complex”
character is a character other than a number or a letter, such as
&%$#.
minLengthNumber, optional. Default 0. Specifies the minimum overall
length of the passcode. This parameter is independent of the
also optional minComplexChars argument.
requireAlphanumericBoolean, optional. Default NO. Specifies whether the user must
enter alphabetic characters (“abcd”), or if numbers are sufficient.
pinHistoryNumber, optional. When the user changes the passcode, it has
to be unique within the last N entries in the history. Minimum
value is 1, maximum value is 50.
manualFetchingWhenRoamingBoolean, optional. If set, all push operations will be disabled
when roaming. The user has to manually fetch new data.
maxGracePeriodNumber, optional. The maximum grace period, in minutes, to
unlock the phone without entering a passcode. Default is 0,
that is no grace period, which requires a passcode immediately.
Email Payload
The email payload is designated by the com.apple.mail.managed PayloadType value.
This payload creates an email account on the device. In addition to the settings
common to all payloads, this payload defines the following:
KeyValue

EmailTypeIMAP. Defines the protocol to be used for that
account.
EmailAddressString, mandatory. Designates the full email address for the
account. If not present in the payload, the device prompts for
this string during profile installation.
IncomingMailServerAuthentication String, mandatory. Designates the authentication scheme for
incoming mail. Allowed values are EmailAuthPassword and
EmailAuthNone.
IncomingMailServerHostNameString, mandatory. Designates the incoming mail server host
name (or IP address).

broadcast type and encryption type to differentiate a network.
By default, it’s assumed that all configured networks are open or
broadcast. To specify a hidden network, you need to include a
boolean for the key “HIDDEN_NETWORK”.
EncryptionTypeString. The possible values for “EncryptionType” are “WEP”, “WPA”,
or “Any”. “WPA” corresponds to WPA and WPA2 and applies to
both encryption types. Make sure that these values exactly
match the capabilities of the network access point. If you’re
unsure about the encryption type, or would prefer that it applies
to all encryption types, use the value “Any”.
PasswordString, optional. The absence of a password doesn’t prevent the
network from being added to the list of known networks. The

In addition to the standard encryption types, it’s possible to specify an enterprise
profile for a given network via the “EAPClientConfiguration” key. If present, its value is a
dictionary with the following keys.
KeyValue
UserNameString, optional. Unless you know the exact user name, this
property won’t appear in an imported configuration. Users can
enter this information when they authenticate.
AcceptEAPTypesArray of integer values. These EAP types are accepted:
PayloadCertificateAnchorUUIDArray of strings, optional. Identifies the certificates to be trusted
for this authentication. Each entry must contain the UUID of a
certificate payload. Use this key to prevent the device from
asking the user if the listed certificates are trusted.
Dynamic trust (the certificate dialogue) is disabled if this
property is specified, unless TLSAllowTrustExceptions is also
specified with the value true.
TLSTrustedServerNamesArray of string values, optional. This is the list of server certificate
common names that will be accepted. You can use wildcards to
specify the name, such as wpa.*.example.com. If a server
presents a certificate that isn’t in this list, it won’t be trusted.
Used alone or in combination with TLSTrustedCertificates, the
property allows someone to carefully craft which certificates to
trust for the given network, and avoid dynamically trusted
certificates.
Dynamic trust (the certificate dialogue) is disabled if this
property is specified, unless TLSAllowTrustExceptions is also
specified with the value true.
TLSAllowTrustExceptionsBoolean, optional. Allows/disallows a dynamic trust decision by
the user. The dynamic trust is the certificate dialogue that
appears when a certificate isn’t trusted. If this is false, the
authentication fails if the certificate isn’t already trusted. See
PayloadCertificateAnchorUUID and TLSTrustedNames above.
The default value of this property is true unless either
PayloadCertificateAnchorUUID or TLSTrustedServerNames is
supplied, in which case the default value is false.
82Appendix B Configuration Profile Format
KeyValue
TTLSInnerAuthenticationString, optional. This is the inner authentication used by the
TTLS module. The default value is “MSCHAPv2”.
Possible values are “PAP”, “CHAP”, “MSCHAP”, and “MSCHAPv2”.
OuterIdentityString, optional. This key is only relevant to TTLS, PEAP, and EAP-
FAST.
This allows the user to hide his or her identity. The user’s actual
name appears only inside the encrypted tunnel. For example,
it could be set to “anonymous” or “anon”, or
“anon@mycompany.net”.
It can increase security because an attacker can’t see the
authenticating user’s name in the clear.
EAP-Fast Support
The EAP-FAST module uses the following properties in the EAPClientConfiguration
dictionary.
KeyValue
EAPFASTUsePACBoolean, optional.
EAPFASTProvisionPACBoolean, optional.
EAPFASTProvisionPACAnonymously Boolean, optional.
These keys are hierarchical in nature: if EAPFASTUsePAC is false, the other two
properties aren’t consulted. Similarly, if EAPFASTProvisionPAC is false,
EAPFASTProvisionPACAnonymously isn’t consulted.
If EAPFASTUsePAC is false, authentication proceeds much like PEAP or TTLS: the server
proves its identity using a certificate each time.
If EAPFASTUsePAC is true, then an existing PAC is used if it’s present. The only way to
get a PAC on the device currently is to allow PAC provisioning. So, you need to enable
EAPFASTProvisionPAC, and if desired, EAPFASTProvisionPACAnonymously.
EAPFASTProvisionPACAnonymously has a security weakness: it doesn’t authenticate the
server so connections are vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack.
Certificates
As with VPN configurations, it’s possible to associate a certificate identity configuration
with a Wi-Fi configuration. This is useful when defining credentials for a secure
enterprise network. To associate an identity, specify its payload UUID via the
“PayloadCertificateUUID” key.
KeyValue
PayloadCertificateUUIDString. UUID of the certificate payload to use for the identity
credential.
Appendix B Configuration Profile Format83
Sample Configuration Profiles
This section includes sample profiles that illustrate the over-the-air enrollment and
configuration phases. These are excerpts and your requirements will vary from the
examples. For syntax assistance, see the details provided earlier in this appendix. For a
description of each phase, see “Over-the-Air Enrollment and Configuration” on page 22.
