30 Chapter 2 Creating and Deploying Configuration Profiles
About iPhone Configuration Utility
iPhone Configuration Utility lets you easily create, encrypt and install configuration
profiles, track and install provisioning profiles and authorized applications, and capture
device information including console logs. When you run the iPhone Configuration
Utility installer, the utility is installed in /Applications/Utilities/ on Mac OS X, or in
Programs\iPhone Configuration Utility\ on Windows.
When you open iPhone Configuration Utility, a window similar to the one shown
below appears.
The content of the main section of the window changes as you select items in the sidebar.
The sidebar displays the Library, which contains the following categories:
 Devices shows a list of iPhone and iPod touch devices that have been connected to
your computer.
 Applications lists your applications that are available to install on devices attached
to your computer. A provisioning profile might be needed for an application to run
on a device.
 Provisioning Profiles lists profiles that permit the use of the device for iPhone OS
development, as authorized by Apple Developer Connection. For information,
see Chapter 5. Provisioning profiles also allow devices to run enterprise applications
that are not distributed using the iTunes Store.
 Configuration Profiles lists the configuration profiles you’ve previously created, and
lets you edit the information you entered, or create a new configuration that you can
send to a user or install on a connected device.
