Possible Unified mailbox iPad security issue after iOS 4.2 upgrade?

On an iPad with multiple email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo & Exchange Active Sync) you are able to forward an Enterprise email received in Exchange Active Sync out through a personal email account. This has been reproduced multiple times with the following configuration. The order of operations does not seem to matter.
a. Setup a personal account with Gmail, Yahoo, etc. & sync email
b. Setup Exchange Active Sync on the iPad & sync email
c. Go into your corporate inbox on Exchange to view email
i. Select a message
ii. Forward that message
iii. Double click on the from field – you will be able to select the email address that will be sending the message out
iv. Select an external mailbox address and send it to you verizonwireless.com address.
v. The VZW email will be received with the external address as a sender
With all of the focus on DLP (data Leak prevention) I believe that this is a big issue that enterprises will be concerned about.

"This is how ANY email client with multiple accounts would work?" Yes, but with the caveat that normally in the enterprise there would be controls in place (or available) to prevent this.
It doesn't seem to be something that's getting a lot of publicity on the web but would appear to be a significant risk for companies.
I don't think it's possible to limit iPads to only corporate mail either natively or using any 3rd party management software, so that leaves the only solution to be some sort of encrypted sandbox for corporate mail along the lines of Good Technology or similar. Unless you can force some sort of persistent VPN through some other mgmt software and monitor all traffic ... doesn't seem ideal but maybe it would work.
Is anyone aware of any other approaches to this or other vendors in this space? Seems like with the well publicised enterprise iPad adoption that this is an issue Apple would want to address.

  • IPad connection issue after iOS 8 upgrade

    I Have an iPad 3G - WiFi-  and recently upgraded to IOS 8.  Every since connection bounces from 3G to  "no service" (AT&T provider).  I have been able to get reconnected only by choosing "Reset Settings".  I previously powered off and restarted with no resolution.   Found article that mentioned this same issue but said it only was issue in iphone 6.  Anyone else have a similar experience or easier solution?   I rely on iPad for work and really need a solution that doesn't involve frequent resets....

    I have been to Apple store twice now on this issue. We have tried all of the above suggestions-- restore, network reset, re-installing SIM card-- and the problem always returns. The Genius Bar tech told me the IOS update brought out a latent problem hidden in the firmware -- in other words, it is a problem caused by Apple, but not everyone experiences this problem. The tech also told me there was nothing more that could be done, short of buying a new ipad. I asked about going back to the earlier IOS version but she said Apple will not allow that at this point. So it sounds to me like a "forced obsolescence" thing that Apple has inflicted on me: they admit their update brought out a problem, previously unmanifested, which had always been lurking in their firmware-- but their solution is that I need to ditch my ipad 2 and buy a new ipad. I never had this type of issue before the upgrade. the problem is more of a nuisance/inconvenience than anything else, because it can be rectified by powering down every few hours, so it's not worth it to me to spend hundreds on a new ipad. And anyway if this is an example of their customer service I'm not sure I will stay with Apple when it finally is time to buy a new tablet.

  • Bluetooth wireless keyboard issues after iOS 4.3 upgrade

    I use the Kensington iPad case with wireless bluetooth keyboard, model K39294. Since the upgrade to iOS 4.3, the keyboard shows it is paired, but won't connect and the bluetooth icon on the iPad stays greyed out. To get them to connect and work I have to forget the device in the iPad settings/general/bluetooth menu and then re-pair them. The keyboard will work for a day, but then stops working again. The connect button on the keyboard doesn't resolve the issue either.
    Any one else experiencing this issue and have a fix?

    I am having this same problem... Only with iPad 3 and update to iOS 7
    It worked perfectly before. :(

  • Exchange calendar issues after iOS 7.04 upgrade

    Outlook 2007 clients on Exchange 2010 server cannot see time as booked for someone via the free busy scheduling assistant on an entry scheduled after 11 months.  Occurs only on users with iOs 7.04.  No other issues reported with 7.04 yet.  Has anyone else seen this?  Users doingthe scheduling can temporarily use OWA instead of Outlook.  Can be reproduced by having the 7.04 user create a repeating appointment with no end date, during their work hours.  Anyone can check their free busy time from the scheduling assistant and check each week or month for the next year.  Confirm directly from the calendar that the event is there with no end date.  The time is shown as busy up until approx. the 11 month.  Then after that the time is shown as free even though it is booked.  In the suggested times bar on the right, the time slot is not free.

    Mine too has stopped after this update.  If you press and hold the home button, the screen that prompts "What can I help you with?" pops up but you never receive the audible tone that indicates you can speak.  A reboot corrects this on the first attempt to use siri but on the second attempts (and all others after) the problem returns.  This was after the 7.0.4 update.  This worked fine prior to this update.

  • AirPlay mirroring issue after iOS 8.1 upgrade on iPhone 6

    I just purchased an Apple TV. When trying to mirror my iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1 to the tv, I get a black screen. If I reboot the iPhone I can use mirroring but it stops working if I disconnect from the Apple TV. My partners iPhone 5s on iOS 8.1 connects fine as does my iPad air.

    Yup. Same problem here. Had NO Problems with any of my TV hardware with my old iPhone 5 running iOS 8. But now, with my iPhone 6 - It just will not connect?!  The device will try but then the entire list of options in Airplay resets and it defaults back to my iPhone option. Sometimes it asks for the code and then just blinks resets again and does not connect. Oddly, every single other apple device I own (2012 Mac mini, 2013 MBP, iPad 3) ALL connect with NO problems! Could there be  something faulty within my iPhone 6 (i.e.: hardware)? I'm beginning to rule out software now... Since iOS 8.1.1 AND Yosemite work fine unilaterally across the rest of the Apple Products.
    Odd.  >>> Fix this Apple<<<< —  There's something up.
    So, like the rest of us now here - Any suggestions welcome. And as a point of reference —  I've been using Apple products since the Apple IIe and am a Certified Mac Tech (all be it a frustrated one) so, please don't request me to some standard list of simply resetting, restarting my device type suggestions... I've sincerely exhausted my options in that regard. Next step is to return the iPhone I guess.
    Many Thanks

  • Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: my husband's phone and my phone get the same phone calls ONLY when we are home.  Any suggestions on where to look to fix this?

    Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: all the iphones in the house receive the same phone calls ONLY while we are at home.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

  • Ipad 4 retina display is slow after iOS 8, also upgrade the the iOS 8.0.1 i think and safari is slow, animations are slow, and i can't restore it to iOS 7, there it was great.

    ipad 4 retina display is slow after iOS 8, also upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 i think and safari is slow, animations are slow, and i can't restore it to iOS 7, there it was great. i mean its like my iphone 4 with iOS 7 in its best days. i hope no to get stuck again, i mean please let me go to the iOS 7)).

    Upgraded my ipad4 from ios6 to iOS 8 because the new WSJ app required it. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!! I can maybe understand some apps being slower but not Safari or Chrome. Apple must be throttling back the ipad4 processor even more with ios8 to force an upgrade to the next gen iPad whenever it arrives.

  • Dictation problems after ios 8.2 upgrade

    I rely heavily upon dictation.   2 problems occur (at minimum) after ios 8.2 upgrade to iphone 6. .
    1. I wasnt going to add this dictation bug (feature ;-)) b/c couldnt reproduce the seemingly safari bug when got home, but as I was dictating my first sentence for defect here, it happens in this text box on any line. :-(.
        1. Problem is as soon as dictation types in word Or words, when I hit done, it erases what was just dictated!  Happens on even just ine word. (So having to manually type all of this n I stink at typing ie, time consuming).
        2. I can paste characters from noteoad into here...so must be dictation relateD...it seems.
    2.  In the calendar textbox, when I dictate a new event (doesnt happen in location textbox) and the last character before it fills up the end of textbox (just before the "x"), it automatically does "done" for me (the beep sounds), it stops dictating, but more annoying is it will no longer allow me to continue dictating in that new event's top textbox.  That means I HAVE to type n I stink at that. To reproduce I simply:
    1. press the microphone.
      2. Type in only numerics 1 thru 17....it will dictate to look like this:  123 456-789-1011 1213 1415 1617
      3. "Beep/dong" noise because it hits the end of characters alowed it seems n decides it is "Done".
      4.  press the microphone
       5. "Beep/dong" noise because it wont let you dictate any more of anything said.
    I Couldnt find the entry where google shows someone with what looks like same issue/bug/defect/feature # 2, so entering this.
    I Have warranty but cant figure out how to get phone support for iphone (only mac ...last year).
    I don't seem to have this problem using i notepad in phone when he gets to having to wrap. :-)
    I Have not trieddictation on my mac...yet.
    CAn someone help on these issues please? Thanks!

    Hey Markwoody,
    Wow! That definitely sounds frustrating, but good job so far isolating and troubleshooting the issue. We have a few more steps that we can try in an attempt to resolve this issue:
    First, it sounds like you have tried restarting your phone. Let’s try a reset instead:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201559
    How to reset
    - You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    - To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue persists, we’ll want to restore your device to factory settings and test once more. You can backup your device, but be sure to restore it as new first for isolation purposes, as restoring a backup can sometimes restore the same issues that you were experiencing before.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • Sound problems after iOS 4.2 upgrade

    Experiencing very poor sound quality after iOS 4.2 upgrade. Bad eq, left channel dropping out, sounds like heavy reverb. Exists with iPod and pandora apps. Tried adjusting eq in settings. Any one else having problems?

    Yep I just upgraded to new OS 4.2 on iPhone 4 and I get this static buzz sound when talking to people it's really annoying and sound quality is terrible. What happened? I went back to the shop and they said it's the upgrade and that there is an issue with it. They also said there is no point leaving the phone with them as they can't fix it that it's upto apple to release a patch for the problem. Can we get a fix for this soon before I damage my ears?

  • Problem with 3G network after ios 6.1 upgrade on iphone 3Gs.

    I have a iphone 3Gs and not a 5 or 4 and since my ios 6.1 upgrade it's a nightmare for me.  I meet a lot of reliability issue with the 3G network. Before the 6.1 upgrade it worked fine. My carrier provider is SFR. It seems to be a "bug" only with 3G. Maybe it's the same as 4Gs but not corrected for 3Gs.
    By example I'm using my iphone to join a Free Number to join a confcall system and everytime after sometimes 3 minutes or 15 minutes I'm automatically disconnected - nobody is hearing me and I have to switch off and to reconnect.  Others collegue working with me having a iphone 3Gs meet the same issue as me with 3G network.
    Do you plan to release the 6.1.1 version for iphone 3Gs ? if yes ? when ?

    After testing workaround to disable WIFI when I'm using 3G network. It worked for 1 confcall during 1 hour !! but for the second confcall the duration was only 6 minutes and the network was cut !!! the workaround doesn't work !.
    I'm surprise because I don't find similar issue on Internet with "Reliability of 3G on iphone 3Gs after ios 6.1 upgrade!!".
    This morning during a call this message appears "Could not activate cellular data network".
    Are you in the same case as me ? Do you have a workarounf for me ?

    Hi
    I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
    Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
    Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

    Hi..
    Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
    If that doesn't help, try this support article >   iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

    iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

    You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router.  If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone.  All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
    Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers.  I run my own for example for caching purposes.

  • CANNONT GET MAIL AFTER IOS 6.0 UPGRADE SAYS VERIFY I HAVE ENTERED CORRECT INFO - BUT THEY HAVNT CHANGED?

    after ios 6.0 upgrade i cannot retrive my emails it says " the mail server .................is not responding. Verify you have entered the correct account info in mail settings."
    but they havnt changed.

    I get the same problem.  My settings haven't changed, etc., all imported across from my old iPhone 3 that worked fine.  I've double-checked everything.  I've even deleted the account and re-established it.  Still doesn't work.  My e'mail provider says that it's not them as all my settings are correct, and I can connect ok via webmail on safari, so it's not them but Apple, which sounds believable.  Can't find a solution.
