How do you sign a mobileconfig file?

Question

We've been able to get an unsigned APN file configured on IIS to work properly (for OTA config) - but it says "unsigned".

However, whenever I connect with the signed mobileconfig file my iphone says "Safari culd not install a profile due to an unknown error "

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Those signing instructions did not work for me either - result = invalid mobileconfig file on both iOS and OS X devices.

These definitely did though (shows up as "Verified" on iOS, "Unverified" (but not unsigned) on OS X):

openssl smime \

-sign \

-signer your_server.crt

-inkey your_server_cert_key.pem

-certfile your_server_cert_chain.pem \

-nodetach \

-outform der \

-in your_unsigned_profile.mobileconfig \

-out your_signed_profile.mobileconfig

you're supposed to setup a SCEP server so you don't need to sign the mobileconfig..
