iPhone in business

Ap

pendix

With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, custom apps, and Microsoft

Exchange, iPhone is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPhone in

business, go to

www.apple.com/iphone/business/

.

Mail, Contacts, and Calendar

To use iPhone with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization

requires. If you received your iPhone from your organization, the settings and apps you need

might already be installed. If it’s your own iPhone, your system administrator may provide you

with the settings for you to enter, or have you connect to a mobile device management server

that installs the settings and apps you should have.
Organizational settings and accounts are typically in configuration profiles. You might be asked to

install a configuration profile that was sent to you in an email, or one that is downloaded from

a webpage. When you open the file, iPhone asks for your permission to install the profile, and

displays information about what it contains.

In most cases, when you install a configuration profile that sets up an account for you, some

iPhone settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and

require you to set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you access.

You can see your profiles in Settings > General > Profiles. If you delete a profile, all of the settings

and accounts associated with the profile are also removed, including any custom apps your

organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to delete a profile, contact

your system administrator.

Network access

A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private resources,

such as your organization’s network. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store that

configures your iPhone to access a particular network. Contact your system administrator for

information about apps and settings you need.

Apps

In addition to the built-in apps and the ones you get from the App Store, your organization

may want you to have certain other apps. They might provide you with a pre-paid redemption

code for the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you own it, even

though your organization purchased it for you.
