You can upload and manage iOS configuration and provisioning profiles, and remotely install them on Apple iOS devices that have been enrolled with DME. You can also monitor the status of the provisioning of the profiles.
Note that a device must be enrolled to receive profiles. This is a change from DME server versions before 4.2 SP2. This is to avoid situations where sending a profile to an unknown device caused the device to attempt enrollment, which in turn caused duplicate devices in DME.
An Apple iOS profile is created using a free tool from Apple called the iPhone Configuration Utility. This tool can be downloaded in a Windows or Macintosh version from the Apple support website.
With the iPhone Configuration Utility you can configure a profile, complete with wireless network settings, access points, VPN settings, private certificates, native PIN code activation, security settings etc. When the profile has been configured, it can be exported as a .mobileconfig file (for configuration profiles) or as a .mobileprovision file (for provisioning profiles). These are the files that can be managed by DME. Please refer to the Apple website for information about using the utility.
DME supports installing both signed and unsigned configuration files. Signing the configuration file is not really necessary, as it will be provisioned from the trusted DME server over an HTTPS connection.
