Using S/MIME on iOS 5

One of the advertised features of iOS 5 was the inclusion of S/MIME in the Mail client. So far I can't find any documentation for how to enable or use it. Has anyone successfully done it?

iPhone 4, iOS 5

Thanks, is this basically the same config as in the recipe from User imercado?

Will that script work? Where is the file /root/openssl.cfg generated? Is there a particular reason to create this in /root/certs?


So far on iOS 6 only certificates from external CA like Comodo did had partial success. Signing alway works, encryption sometimes...

Hi,


have you succeeded in setting your iCloud S/MIME encryption?

I'm having the exact same problem as you did : certificate installed correctly, but mail being sent not encrypted.

I think the problem comes from the multiple iCloud aliases : my certificate is for ...@me.com but i'm thinking apple mail uses ...@icloud.com on the server.

Just an idea...


Anyway thanks for replying

cheers
