I am struggling with ios configuration profiles. We need to apply some settings to all our company ios devices.
I've created .mobileconfig file using apple configurator tool. When I am trying to install profile via our webserver, the profile appears as Not Verified.
I found how to use openssl to sign it , the question is what certificate do I need to use as -signer key in command line ?
Do I need to use apple development certificate , or i need to issues special certificate via Verisign ?
Thanks.
The certificate you use as -signer can be obtained by making a certificate signing request (CRS) to a certificate authority (CA). You can buy commercial certificates from companies like VeriSign etc.
To create a CRS see the link below:

Optionally you can create a self-signed certificate using OpenSSL (which will have caveats however), see link below:
