This document provides an overview of using iOS devices in the enterprise. It discusses why IT needs to be engaged with mobile device management as employees increasingly use iOS devices. It covers using IBM Lotus Traveler with iOS, iOS enterprise capabilities including configuration profiles, and over-the-air deployment and mobile device management (MDM) to securely manage iOS devices. The presentation includes demos of an MDM solution to illustrate how devices can be enrolled and managed remotely.

You‘ve got iOS
devices and
your users
want mail (and
more)!
Be the king!

Mobile devices mean:
configure the device
manually.
Everything: VPN, Mail,

And what about security?
And about „BYOD“?

• Over-The-Air-Deployment & MDM
24. Using iOS devices with Lotus Traveler
• Till now you need to activate ANY iOS device via iTunes (activate mode)
• see the “iPhone Enterprise Deployment Guide”, Chapter 4
• BUT
• there are serious rumors, that Apple will implement OTA-Activation with
iOS 5 !!!
25. Using iOS devices with Lotus Traveler
• IBM is leveraging the ActiveSync protocol for syncing mail, calendar and
contacts, which is implemented per default on any iOS device.
• “Normally” your users need to use the Traveler server and their http
username and password to authenticate – and to install the “configuration
profile”.
28. Using iOS devices with Lotus Traveler
• IBM Lotus Traveler does NOT solve ALL of you’re administration and
security requirements like
• realtime black- and whitelisting on a device basis
• distributed administration (allow local administrators or the 1st level
suppurt access to the Traveler server)
29. Agenda

• iOS enterprise capabilities
• Over-The-Air-Deployment & MDM
31. iOS enterprise capabilities
• Traveler does NOT serve YOUR requirements for a real enterprise
deployment.
• IMHO it’s not the job of IBM to deliver it.
• The good news:
Apple is (the only!) hardware provider which has currently real good
configuration capabilities for their devices.
• The bad news:
They don’t have an enterprise-ready software for that.
32. iOS enterprise capabilities
• For small environments you may use the “iPCU” – the iPhone Configuration
Utility (despite the name it’s although for any iOS device).
• You can create profiles with it.
• But you don’t get a real OTA deployment.
33. iOS enterprise capabilities
• A “profile” is a XML file, which follows the plist DTD. They file extension is
“.mobileconfig”.
• Those settings can be
• Mail settings: Exchange Traveler, IMAP, POP3
• Certificates
• VPN
• WiFi
• Passcode
• Restrictions
• …
35. iOS enterprise capabilities
• You can deploy those iPCU profiles via
• USB
• Mail
• HTTP download
• For a secure deployment they should be encrypted and signed!

61. Over-The-Air deployment & MDM
1. Send MDM Push 2. Device notification 3. Connect to MDM
Notification
Service
MDM Server
4. Queries + commands
via Profile-Payload
Active Management
62. Conclusion
• iOS devices are enterprise ready.
• YOU need device management to have a valuable and secure iOS
experience.
• Get the most out of you business with iOS devices, OTA and custom
applications. It’s really worth!
