Profiles Invalid Server

Hi

Have setup Profiles for users & devices

I can login to the server from devices to install the profile After installing the certificates

I can install the settings for everyone

I can NOT enrol the devices and I get the following Error after the password entry

NOTE: the certificates are Verified

The server certificate for https://mydomain/devicemanegment/api/device/ota_service is invalid

This is the same result on all devices iPad iPhones

On macs i get "The profile “Device Enrollment (com.apple.ota.mydomain.bootstrap)” could not be installed due to an unexpected error.

any Ideas

For me the Profile Manager isn't working.

Have had success with installing profiles

All old certs & Profile config files were deleted from the device manager & from the *download* folder as each time you download it APPENDS -1-2 etc & causes issues Apparently.

All old certs & Profile config files were deleted from each of the devices IE:Macs "IOS devices" dont have them. including the server & then each one should be rebooted DONT forget the SERVER.

Install certs first on each device Then enroll.

If it stuffs up Try Again

2 IOS devices of mine took 2 goes

Worked for Me

I had this same issue, installed 10.7, updated to 10.7.3, and when I tried to enroll iOS devices, I would get the "

The server certificate for https://mydomain/devicemanegment/api/device/ota_service is invalid" error.

After reading through this discussion, I was still unable to get it to work, and had to leave it alone for about a week. After a week, I tried it again, and it worked. I'm able to enroll my devices without issue. Honestly, I haven't touched this server. I rebooted it a week ago, but even after that, I couldn't get my iOS devices to enroll.

I'm wondering if the problem with my certificate had to do with GoDaddy's certificate authority, not my server, and it took a while (few hours? a day? a week?) for them to update something on their end.

Also, I recommend "Managing iOS Devices with OS X Lion Server" by Arek Dreyer, available on the iBookstore: http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/managing-ios-devices-os-x/id455014665
