Configuration Profiles
Configuration profiles define how iPhone and iPod touch
work with your enterprise systems.
Configuration profiles are XML files that, when installed, provide information that
iPhone and iPod touch can use to connect to and communicate with your enterprise
systems. They contain VPN configuration information, device security policies,
Exchange settings, mail settings, and certificates.
You 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
iPhone or iPod touch devices manually. See Chapter 3 for information about manual
configurations.
