What a joke of operating system apple has… if it has any hopes of getting into the coorporate world it must move away from it’s current model of “We do what we want and wont change”

Apple for business = disaster

If I do create a config profile using that iPhone utility, how then does one ‘import’ it into Lion?

Hi,

It seems that the profiles for wireless networks made with the iPhone Configuration Utility also work for ethernet connections. Both run in user mode, though, so your connection is gone when you log out. See remark at the bottom of this page:

The IPCU can only create “user” mode 802.1x profiles. If you want system or login mode profiles, you must create them with Profile Manager from 10.7 Server or manually hack up the IPCU mobileconfig file.

To get system to work, create a working “user” profile and add the following items:

1. Starting the line immediately below the SSID_STR key’s ” value, add this:

SetupModes

System

2. Insert these lines immediately above the bottom-most PayloadType key line:

PayloadScope
System

I find the purposeful omission of the plus button in the 802.1X settings in Lion really annoying. I can’t imagine what the benefit is.
Thanks for recommending the iPhone Configuration Utility as an alternative.
