iphone - .mobileconfig 文件有什么用？

Question

我最近在 iPhone 上访问了 m.freemyapps.com。该网站要求我安装 .mobileconfig 文件。我做了一些研发，但并没有那么有趣。谁能告诉我 mobileconfig 有什么用？？为什么在 m.freemyapps.com 这样的网站中使用它？？

Answer 1

This file will contain all the configurations you want for your usersiPhones.The mobileconfig file extension is associated with Apple iPhone or iPod Touch. The mobileconfig files are used to customize various configurations and to switch them, whenever the user needs to or to provide access to certain services.

Configuration of mobile Apple devices such as the iPad and iPhone canbe done using pre-cooked configuration files. These files aregenerated by the iPhone Configuration Utility (iPCU), which spits outan XML file with the extension .mobileconfig. Such a file can then beput up a web site so that users can download it to apply a certainso-called profile, which will be listed in the Settings/General panelon the device.

这些 MobileConfiguration 文件可以包含设备安全策略和限制、VPN 配置信息、Wi-Fi 设置、电子邮件和日历帐户，以及允许 iPhone、iPod touch 和 iPad 与某些企业系统一起工作的身份验证凭据。 mobileconfig 文件也可以加密。

配置实用程序保存 mobileconfig 文件，这些文件可能会发送到附加到用户 iPhone 或 iPod Touch 的电子邮件帐户。之后，用户可以打开邮件中的附件，并提示安装。

MobileConfig 文件如下所示:

有时这是配置某些功能的唯一方法，因为设备的界面不允许您这样做。一个很好的例子是使用 TTLS 的 Eduroam 无线网络。
