Creating Configuration Profiles

To create a new configuration profile, click the New Profile button in the toolbar of iPhone Configuration Utility for Mac OS X or iPhone Configuration Utility for the Web. You edit the profile using the panes in the bottom portion of the main window.

Although you can create a single configuration profile that contains all of the necessary information, consider creating separate profiles for certificates and settings. so you can update and distribute each type of information separately. This also allows users to retain the certificates they’ve already installed when installing a new profile that contains VPN or account settings.

To add information to a configuration profile, select the appropriate pane, click the Configure button, and then fill in the information you see onscreen, as described below. Required fields are marked with a red arrow.

For some settings, such as W-Fi settings, you can click the Add (+) button to add additional configurations. To remove a configuration, click the Delete (–) button in the configuration details window.
