iPhone 3.0 enterprise integration

by Volker Weber

I was just reading through the Enterprise Deployment Guide for iPhone 3.0. It lists quite a few new feautures that have not been reported so far. Since the guide only talks about Exchange I'd suggest to test them against the Domino 8.5.1 beta with Traveler to see which of them are working:

CalDAV calendar wireless syncing is now supported.
LDAP server support for contact look-up in mail, address book, and SMS.
Configuration profiles can be encrypted and locked to a device so that their removal requires an administrative password.
iPhone Configuration Utility 2.0 now allows you to add and remove encrypted configuration profiles directly onto devices that are connected to your computer by USB.
Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is now supported for certificate revocation.
On-demand certificate-based VPN connections are now supported.
VPN proxy configuration via a configuration profile and VPN servers is supported.
Microsoft Exchange users can invite others to meetings. Microsoft Exchange 2007 users can also view reply status.
Exchange ActiveSync client certificate-based authentication is now supported.
Additional EAS policies are now supported, along with EAS protocol 12.1.
Additional device restrictions are now available, including the ability to specify the length of time that a device can be left unlocked and disabling the camera.
Local mail messages and calendar events can be searched. For IMAP, MobileMe, and Exchange 2007, mail that resides on the server can also be searched.
Additional mail folders can now be designated for push email delivery.
APN proxy settings can now be made specified using a configuration profile.
Web clips can now be installed using a configuration profile.
802.1x EAP-SIM is now supported.
Devices can now be authenticated and enrolled over-the-air using a Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) server.
iTunes can now store device backups in encrypted format.

You will need the iPhone Configuration Utility 2.0 which runs either on Mac OS X 10.5 or Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1, both with .NET Framework 3.5 SP 1, to create the configuration profiles. The document is also a very good resource for those who want to manage iPhones from their Domino configuration solution.
