Using Conguration Proles
If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other
items on iPad by installing a conguration prole. Conguration proles let your
administrator set up your iPad to use the information systems at your company, school,
or organization. For example, a conguration prole 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 conguration prole can congure many dierent settings on iPad. For
example, a conguration prole can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN
account, and certicates for secure access to your company’s network and information.
A conguration prole may also turn on Passcode Lock, which requires you to create
and enter a passcode for using iPad.
Your administrator may distribute conguration proles 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 prole that ties your iPad to a mobile device management server,
which allows your administrator to congure your settings remotely.
Installing conguration proles:
1 On iPad, open the email message or download the conguration proles from the
website your administrator provides.
2 For each conguration prole, tap the prole, then tap Install.
3 Enter passwords and other information that’s requested.
Important: You may be asked whether a conguration prole is trusted. If in doubt,
ask your administrator before installing the conguration prole.
