possible status of a mobileconfig?

what are the possible status of a mobileconfig? and what do they mean exactly?
what i have are: unsigned, unverified and verified. Any other possibilities?
I have a mobileconfig file that created by myself and now it shows unverified. How do I make it verified? is it because the certificate i am using is not from what they have installed on the phone?
thx for any hints

Unsigned - The mobileconfig is not signed by anyone. Therefore the source is unknown.

Unverified - The mobileconfig is signed, but the source is not recognized as trusted.

Verified - The mobileconfig is signed and is recognized as a trusted source.


You are correct. The reason that your mobileconfig file does not appear as "Verified" is because the required certificates are not installed on the iPhone. In order to appear as a "verified" source the mobileconfig file must be able to be verified up to the root certificate (i.e. you may need to install more than just one certificate).
