Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles 27
IIS Web Server
If your web server is IIS, add the MIME type in the Properties page of the server using
IIS Manager. The extension is mobileconfig and the file type is application/x-apple-
aspen-config.
Alternatively, you can add this information to specific sites using the HTTP Headers
section of a website’s properties panel.
Installing 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 is set up with your enterprise-specific information.
In either case, the device recognizes the profile and installation begins when the user
taps Install.
During installation, users are asked to enter any necessary information, such as their
Exchange account password, and other information as required by the settings you
specified.
The device also retrieves the Exchange ActiveSync policies from the server, and
refreshes 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.
