IOS Configuration Profile Reference outdated

Hi,
I'm currently writing a technical draft iPhone policy for our enterprise. The iPhone configuration utility is a nice tool to create such a policy but it is not really usable for documentation of the different directives. Therefore I was looking for another documentation. The «iOS Configuration Profile Reference» seems to be a nice document, since it describes every single directive.
Unfortunately I had to find out, that there are much more parameters in the current iPhone configuration Utility 3.3 (274) then specified in the iOS Configuration Profile Reference - even it's version is dated to 2011-03-08.
Does anybody know if there is a more current Version of this document, or another paper which specifies all possible parameters?
Chris

any one can help to answer the quesiton?

0x87D11388 when deploying iOS Configuration Profile

I am trying to deploy a Configuration Profile from the iPhone Configuration Utility, and then import it to Microsoft Intune.
In Intune, i can see it fails with the error code 0x87D11388. But I can not find anything on this.
My Configuration Profile only contains WiFi-settings:
Thanks
Mr. Thomas

Hi,
I haven't tried that actually but the error translates to:
"iOS device is currently busy" which doesn't help much either, does it work with other profiles or is it just this one?

Can't install configuration profile using iPhone Config Utility 3.5 and iPad iOS 5.1

Sorry for the long title, but...
I had a certificate expire in my configuration profile (that allows access to the Enterprise WiFi network). In the past, that means I go fetch a new certificate, install it into the configuration profile, attach the device to the computer via USB, and download that to the device. It's all good.
With iCU 3.5 and iOS 5.1, that all works fine until the last step. I hit the install button - nothing happens. Zilch. Nada, Zero. I happen to be a developer as well, so I have Xcode open and am watching the device console. Absolutely nothing happens on the device console.
What am I doing wrong? I can't believe that this is broken, and if it is broken I'm the first person to trip on it, so what's up?
(I did workaround this problem by exporting and sharing the configuration via email to the device and installing it from the attachment. That part still seems to work, and the profile itself also seems to work. The problem seems to be with iCU and downloading profiles.)
Thanks for your help.

I ran into same problem. I think ithis might be your problem . This fixed mine I had settings already set and tried to install on new ipad and wouldn't work wouldn't do anything just set there I hit install and never did nothing. What I did was del the settings for configuration and re set them all over again and boom it's worked it works fine for me now. Hope this helps

IOS 5.1 or iPhone Configuration Profile 3.5 for Windows has not fixed the issue with apply Proxy Settings

iOS 5.1 or iPhone Configuration Profile 3.5 for Windows has not fixed the issue with apply Proxy Settings via a Configuration Profile. Has anyone else got the same issue? Are Mac users got this issue?

This seems to be working for me now but will keep monitoring it the next couple of times I use it to make sure its not a one time thing

How can I add the "Profile Removal Password Payload" to a configuration Profile?

How can I add the “Profile Removal Password Payload” to a configuration Profile?
I’m not seeing an option to add this option when I edit the configuration profile within Apple Configurator.
Do I have to edit the configuration profile(xml file) within a text editor?
FYI:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProf ileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html
Profile Removal Password Payload
The Removal Password payload is designated by specifying com.apple.profileRemovalPassword value as the PayloadType value.
A password removal policy payload provides a password to allow users to remove a locked configuration profile from the device. If this payload is present and has a password value set, the device asks for the password when the user taps a profile's Remove button. This payload is encrypted with the rest of the profile.
Key
Type
Value
RemovalPassword
String
Optional. Specifies the removal password for the profile.

Delete it. When Thunderbird needs it again, it will ask you for it.

Can't install the configuration profile

Hi, I have upgraded the ipad2 to iOS 5 and created a configuration profile, when I connect the iPad through USB, I can see the install button but when I click on it, nothing happens, it seems as if I missed something! Even when I try sending it as attachment through my email, it doesn't allow me to install it, it just gives me the option to copy.
Is there any way to do it?
Thanks

Is it possible one of the payloads is incomplete? I most often see an install failure when a mandatory entry in a payload is missing or has a bad value.....

Wi-Fi settings in iPhone configuration profile not working

Hi there,
if I apply the exact same iPhone configuration profile by using a USB cable and the iCU it works just fine and the Wi-Fi is starts to work immediately. If I upload the profile to the web and install it via a webpage everything works except the Wi-Fi. Both times it is the exact same profile. Any suggestions? Anyone with the same problem?
iPhone 4 / iOS 4.1 / iCU 3.1.0.256

Has anybody a better idea how I could avoid the problem? Maybe there is a better way of profile distribution? How are you guys distributing your profiles (no MDM solutions)? I don't know if distribution via email attachment is a good idea cause sometime email isn't already setup so the better way is to go via the browser and a webpage or the profile is going to change the email settings.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions ... Thanks a lot!
Maybe anybody knows a cheap and good MDM solution. We just have 7 iPhones in our company syncing with Exchange.

Set 'Auto-join' to on in a configuration profile?

We're using ICU generated profiles to provide WPA2 (EAP-SIM) Wi-Fi login configurations to our iPhone users. This works fine except that they need to manually set 'Auto-join' to ON to ensure they always login to Wi-Fi.
As we'd like to make sure everyone is using Wi-Fi instead of 3G when on campus, is there a way to configure this in a profile or over-the-air?

The deleting apps restriction is new in iOS 6 but is available only on supervised devices. You can supervise devices and create and install a configuration profile containing this restriction using Apple Configurator.

Problems installing Configuration Profile

We're deploying iPhones at the plant, and I'm trying to pre-configure them, using the iPhone Configuration Utility. I've created a couple of Configuration Profiles, but cant seem to get them to install. The test phone is an iPhone 4, running IOS 5.The phone has been activated by the carrier, but not configured. I'm running the Configuration Utility on an iMac, under OS X 10.6.8.
When I attach the iPhone, via the USB connector, it show up under devices. When I go to the Configuration Profiles tab and click the "Install" button for a Profile, either nothing happens or I get an error message saying "Invalid Profile". Haven't been able to find any useful help elsewhere on line, so hoping someone here has some wisdom for me.
Thanks,
Don

nothing concrete, sorry, however, this may help. it has worked for me...
1, wipe and restore the phone.
2, build a brand new config file and try installing that instead.

Cannot install APN configurations profile for H2O data network

I am helping a friend of mine with his new unlocked iPhone he got from apple. It is not Jailbroken. In order to get to the data network, he has to install a profile to setup the APN configurations. The phone refuses to install because their can only be one APN configurations profile at a time. This issue should be solved by removing any old profiles that may cause the conflict. The problem is that there are no other profiles installed on the phone at all. In fact, I couldn't even make the profile option show up before installing another profile.
I read in the internet that sometimes, if you update your phone the system may hide any old profiles it doesn't like. Is this true? If it is, is there away to remove the hidden profiles without doing a full reset to the device and wipe everything I have in there?
iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.2

Hello,
you don't need to sign the MDM profile with the APNS-certificate, and to my best knowledge you shouldn't even do it. The APNS-certificate is solely for the purpose of authenticate the MDM-commands your server sends to Apple's Push notification service.
The installed MDM-profile on your device can be unsigned or signed with a SSL-webservercertificate from one of the trusted standard-CAs like Verisign or Thawte.
You should make sure that your MDM-server either delivers it unsigned (which is failsafe and works) or upload a trusted SSL-certificate (together with the private key, usually in .PFX-format) for this task.
One of the initial obstacle in Apple-MDM is to understand which classes of certificate are required and to understand their respective purpose.
Best regards,
Detlev

MDM:Check-in occurs 3 times in a Configuration profile.

Hello.
Thank you.
I am using Mac.

The Configuration profile of
"qualification information" and "mobile device management" was summarized to one

If the Configuration profile summarized to one is installed in an iOS terminal,
one check-in will have occurred continuously.
This is satisfactory.
But, when the "path code" was added to this, the problem occurred.

MMS fails on iPhone 5 with AT&T when APN configuration profile installed

Installing a configuration profile containing APN information to the new AT&T iPhone 5 results in breaking the capability to send or receive MMS messages through the Messages app on the device. This is for MMS (Multimedia Messaging) and not iMessage (that works fine).
This happens regardless whether the device is on LTE mode or on 3G mode.
The configuration profile we are using has APN information and proxy settings for this APN as well (proxy host and port information). However, the problem happens even if the profile contains just APN without any proxy settings info.
This happens on iPhone 5 ONLY (commercially available through AT&T). This is important to note because iPhone 4S with iOS 6 DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
This problem happened last year too when iPhone4S was introduced. But it was fixed later.

yes, sir, without the profile, everyhting is fine on the 5, that is MMS and VVM.
This is really what confuses us over here too. We thought it was the proxy itself. So we took it out and created a very simple profile with just APN, no proxy, nothing else. MMS and VVM would still not work on the iphone5. But data (browser and apps) still worked fine.
Are you aware of the iOS 6 issue I also brought up in this forum, where removing an APN/proxy config profile actually leaves the proxy settings behind (even though the profile itself is removed)?
Well, if I remove my APN/proxy config profile on the iphone 5, the proxy settings are still there, as I can see browser and apps data still going through my proxy (even though my profile is gone). But check this out: MMS and VVM now work (despite the apparent presence of the proxy)!! This is actually our workaround at the moment, using another problem to our advantage.
I think all this shows something is wrong here.

Can't install configuration profile on iPad - "The profile ... could not be installed"

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a simple test MDM server.
I'm using a Windows Server 2008 R2, and an iPad (iOS 5.01).
I set up a python based web server to accept requests in port 8080, installed an APNs certificate and created a configuration profile using IPCU with an MDM payload (and a VERISIGN credentials paylod to match it).
I have ports open to on the server (443, 1640, 2195 and 8080 where my server is listening).
I sent the configuration profile to myself, via email and tried installing it on my iPad.
I got the response:
Profile Failed to Install
The profile "MDM test profile" could not be installed.
Does anyone know what could be the problem here? What am I missing?
I have tried installing on an iPhone as well, same problem.
Thanks,
Tomer

Try a clean re-install.
* Download the setup file from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/RC (this is for the Firefox 4 release candidate)
* Uninstall Firefox, do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data"
* Delete the Firefox installation directory - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
* Re-install Firefox
This process does not remove the Firefox user data such as bookmarks and passwords which are stored elsewhere in the profile folder.
You may also need to manually reset the Software Update feature by deleting the software update files as shown in the "Software Update not working properly" section here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update

Cannot set Proxy Auto Config in iPhone/iPad Configuration Profile

Hi, All.
Our enterprise uses internal and external DNS, and we leverage Proxy Auto Config (PAC) files to determine how to resolve hostnames.
I can create a VPN Configuration Profile with the URL for the PAC file, so that when the VPN is enabled, it will start using the PAC file to resolve.
However, there is no such option in the WiFi Configuration Profile.
Any idea if there is a way to automate this, or if Apple intends to include this in a future version of iOS or iPCU?
Thanks,
David

Ooops. Sorry, I meant "10/8", not "10/24" IP range.
