Section A.1. Set Up an Enterprise iPhone
A.1. Set Up an Enterprise iPhone
For iPhones in an enterprise environment, a major task is making sure that all iPhones used by employees conform to the institution's requirements. For example, an employer may want to limit the use of certain features (perhaps disabling the iPhone's camera) or require a VPN connection. Rather than manually modifying each iPhone to meet these requirements, an IT administrator can create a configuration profile (.mobileconfig file) that contains all the needed settings. The profile can then be efficiently distributed to, and installed on, all relevant iPhones. To do so requires two steps:
Create the configuration profile using Apple's free iPhone Configuration Utility (see Use iPhone Configuration Utility).
Distribute the profile to all relevant iPhones via one of four different methods: (1) install it directly on an iPhone connected to a Mac via USB, using iPhone Configuration; (2) attach the profile to an email sent to all employees; (3) provide a link to the profile on a Web site; or (4) use Over-the-Air Distribution.
