Using Configuration Profiles
If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other
items on iPad by installing a configuration profile. Configuration profiles let your
administrator set up your iPad to use the information systems at your company, school,
or organization. For example, a configuration profile might set up your iPad to access
the Microsoft Exchange servers at work, so iPad can access your Exchange email,
calendars, and contacts.
A simple configuration profile can configure many different settings on iPad. For
example, a configuration profile can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN
account, and certificates for secure access to your company’s network and information.
A configuration profile may also turn on Passcode Lock, which requires you to create
and enter a passcode for using iPad.
Your administrator may distribute configuration profiles either by email, by putting them
on a secure webpage, or by installing them directly on iPad for you. Your administrator
may have you install a profile that ties your iPad to a mobile device management server,
which allows your administrator to configure your settings remotely.
Installing configuration profiles:
1 On iPad, open the email message or download the configuration profiles from the
website your administrator provides.
2 For each configuration profile, tap the profile, then tap Install.
3 Enter passwords and other information that’s requested.
Important: You may be asked whether a configuration profile is trusted. If in doubt,
ask your administrator before installing the configuration profile.
