A client profile is a set of customization options that determine the features, policy settings, and behavior of the Open Mobile client. Profiles are created in the Open Mobile Portal.
The Open Mobile Portal is a powerful Web-based tool that enables you to manage all of your clients, issues, and accounts in one place. To launch the Open Mobile Portal, browse to https://openmobile.ipass.com.
The Open Mobile Portal includes the following capabilities:
To create a profile:
You can now edit the profile to enable your desired features. These features will include at least one account definition and your network policy settings. You may also wish to create and apply a brand to your profile.
The Profile ID is automatically generated by the Open Mobile Portal.
A PIN (Personal ID Number) provides an extra level of security for users activating the client. Adding a PIN is optional. A PIN is usually an alphanumeric string a few characters in length.
To create an optional PIN for this profile:
Once you have published to Test, you may no longer change the profile's PIN.
Available in: iOS 2.2 and later clients
The Profile Finder feature enables easier activation of Open Mobile for users who already have a profile ID for another platform. For example, a user may have Open Mobile installed on a Windows laptop. The Windows installation includes a profile ID (viewable on the About dialog). The user can use this Windows Profile ID to activate a new iOS profile.
To enable the profile finder for your Open Mobile users, on the Open Mobile Portal, designate a profile as a Favorite for the iOS platform. This will be the default profile received by your iOS users. (A Favorite profile may not include a PIN.)
Subsequent to this, a user can download and install Open Mobile for iOS from the iTunes App Store. When choosing to activate Open Mobile on an iOS device, the user can enter any valid profile ID (such as one from the Windows installation of Open Mobile). Open Mobile will connect to the Internet, use the supplied Profile ID to locate the Favorite profile for iOS, download it, and install it on the iOS device.
