I am trying to install a MDM configuration profile via iPhone Configuration Utility. This is what I am doing -
Build a simple mdm server in asp.net and host over SSL. (This server does nothing for now apart from listing to input requests.)
Generate a p12 certificate from the asp.net server's SSL certificate
Specify the url of the server in MDM configuration
Set the p12 certificate in the identify of MDM profile.
Install the profile
During installation I am getting the error The server certificate for "https://myservername/mdmserver/api/" is invalid.
I already tried lots of things which I found over internet but could succeed. Any kind of help will really be appreciated.
Detailed error -
NSError:
Desc : The payload com.mycompany.test01.mdm2 could not be installed.
Sugg : The server certificate for https://myservername/mdmserver/api is invalid.
US Desc: The payload com.mycompany.test01.mdm2 could not be installed.

Two problems:
1) You should include device identity in your MDM profile. It's either PKCS12 or SCEP. In the case, if you are using PKCS12, usage of server PKCS12 is wrong (because it's server PKCS12 vs device identify PKCS12). Create new cert and private key, pack them into PKCS12 and use it as device identity.
2) Most likely, you forgot to include your server certificate in MDM profile. So, iOS can't validate whether it's contacting to appropriate server or not.
There is another possibility that your server certificate is truly invalid (as example, expired or common name doesn't match "myservername"
The problem is solved!
The issue was because I was using self-signed certificates.

When I run the project with SSL I get a warning in the browser, in every browser: firefox, IE, edge, chrome. When I launch the project it doesn't show me the warning dialog and I don't know if I have any certificate installed.
How to check if I have the certificate installed and if not, how to install it?
You probably need to add your certificate to CA Root.
High level plan:
Export SSL certificate from IIS.
Import that SSL certificate into CA Root.
Here is a blog post that explains everything in detail and with screenshots.
If you use Google Chrome, you might need to close and re-open it after installing a new SSL certificate due to browser's caching.
You can use online SSL checker tool to diagnoses issues regarding SSL certificate installation.
You should check that you are using a self-signed certificate or a CA signed certificate. If it’s a self-signed certificate then your users will experience warning message when they browse your site because browsers don't recognize it.
If you have a CA signed certificate, then you received a certificate via email from trusted third-party certificate authority, which contains the root, intermediate and primary certificates. You should install all three files on your server.
You should update your all browser. Modern browsers have already implemented root certificate, so you need to configure only intermediate and primary certificate on the server.
Follow below link which may help you to add CA Root certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754841(v=ws.11).aspx
After iOS 7.1 ，if we want to deploy our Enterprise app over air, the URL for the manifest.plist file has to be HTTPS.
For example:
itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=https://example.com/manifest.plist
In my server I use a self-signed SSL certificate. When I tap the URL on an iPhone, it says Could not connect to <ip-address> and logs the typical
NSUnderlyingError=0x15d37040 "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be `<ip-address>`, which could put your confidential information at risk.
So, I want to know whether I can use the self-signed SSL certificate or not?
If I can, how do I resolve the problem the problem I've encountered?
First have the user install the self-signed SSL certificate on their device. Or use a free verified SSL service.
You will need to have the user install this file https://superuser.com/questions/97201/how-to-save-a-remote-server-ssl-certificate-locally-as-a-file
I believe this service provides browser-validated SSL certificates. https://www.startssl.com/?app=1
I'm trying to setup a MDM Check-in connection from my device to server. In my .mobileconfig I already put in the identity which is from the credential, I generate it from keychain access and using the .p12 file. For Server & Check-in URL - https://address.To.Server:9769/mdm/
I'm hosting my server in tomcat with SSL enabled which i generate the JKS using keytools, - "keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore client-cert.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore keystore.jks"
*client-cert.p12 is same with the .p12 file i put in mobileconfig's identity.
If i'm not mistaken, all the request from IOS to server are using HTTP PUT method. I already tried access my server directly from chrome browser and got no problem with it. I believe it is the certificate problem, but i got no clue what happening.
I got all these error when i tried to install the profile from safari.

Possible issues can be,
Check your CN first. Yes it should match the domain. If you are testing it in your local machine make sure to add the IP there.
Make sure you SSL certificate is signed with Root CA if its self signed. Signer should clearly indicated as Root CA.
If you are using a RA certificate it also needs to be signed by the Root CA.
Implement checkin and server urls as PUT methods. If this is not implemented simply it will give this error.
I also had your issue due to point 4) and managed to resolve that.
Most likely, it's exactly the problem which it mentions: "The server certificate for is invalid.".
May be, it's not root certificate (I am not sure how iOS will like that) or may be you are using something unusual in this cert which is supported by your desktop, but it's not support by iOS device.
Try to access to your server from Safari on your iOS device and see what it will say.
Also, I assume that you created a configuration profile with server certificate which you installed beforehand. Go to Preferences and look at this configuration profile. This certificate should say something like "Trusted".
I want to manage the iOS devices using Lion Server,I have purchased the Lion Server and installed in Mac system which has Lion OS 10.7.
I want to manage the devices with in our own network, I have not taken domain specific for MDM.
While creating cofig profile for MDM in IPCU,it needs the server url must begin with "https://".
So I am not able to install the MDM config profile in the iOS device, due to "htts".I tried to get ssl certificate for trial , but that is not available for private networks.
Is there any solution to resolve the issue with out purchasing ssl certificate or public domain.
Please correct me if I am doing something wrong and suggest the correct approach.
Self-signed ssl will work and while generating self-signed ssl certificate in server side,generate identity.p12 certificate and this certificate you need to use in identity section of IPCU.
And go through this also.
If you visit a page on the MDM web server with Safari and get the pop-up dialog warning about the identity of the server then you will need to install the SSL certificate on the device to allow the certificate to be trusted. This can be achieved by using iPCU or allowing the certificate from a web server.
I'm using the acegi security plugin and I run the app -https. The cert is generated but I get a certificate warning when i visit the web page. I have then download the weak ssl plugin and added weakssl.trustAll =true to Config.groovy. But still getting the same warning. Have I left out anything?
The warning is normal. You can just accept the self-signed certificate. The weakssl module allows the Grails server to trust itself even if it provides a self-signed certificate. It has no effect whatsoever on the client. (Think what a horrible security hole it would be if you could just install some code on the server and get a client to accept a self-signed certificate without a warning!)
To solve your problem you need to either
manually tell your browser the certificate is OK by adding the certificate to your truststore
or
get a certificate from a trusted CA (Certificate Authority) a list of trusted CAs is stored in your browser. To get a certififate from a CA you need to proof your identity and pay (a lot) some money.
so I recommend you just accept the untrusted certifcate unless you want to buy a CA certificate.
The config you changed tells only the server to accept all certificates. i.e. if your server is connecting to another server
