Microsoft Exchange is used as the corporate email communication method.
You can create or modify an XML file using either a text editor or an XML editor to push down to the ThinkPad
tablet through the Lenovo Configuration File Handler APK . Or you can use Lenovo Mobility Manager Suite to
manage your user’s ThinkPad tablets using the supplied Lenovo Mobility Manager APK. These methods then
are passed through the Lenovo Device Policy Manager Service. For more information, see “Lenovo Device
Policy Manager Service” on page 2 .

ThinkPad Tablet Deployment Guide

Chapter 2. Configuration
The ThinkPad Tablet allows you to configure the corporate services that users need by specifying
configuration settings in XML files. When these XML files are delivered to users and imported by the ThinkPad
Tablet, the settings are applied by the ThinkPad Tablet. Configuring the ThinkPad Tablet with XML files helps
make it easier for users to connect to their corporate networks and accounts, and quickly be productive.

XML configuration files
The ThinkPad Tablet allows you to configure corporate services for users by specifying configuration settings
in the XML file. When these XML files are delivered to users and loaded on the ThinkPad Tablet, the settings
are automatically applied by the tablet. Configuring the ThinkPad Tablet with XML files makes it easier for the
user to connect to corporate networks and accounts.
Using the XML file, you can configure the following:
• Microsoft Exchange e-mail server
• Virtual Private Network (VPN)
• Wireless Network Settings
• Digital certificates
• Active Directory domain server
• Device Policies
You can create a single, common XML configuration file for multiple users. The XML file may contain, for
example, the configuration settings for the secure corporate wireless network, the CA certificate for the
wireless network, and the address of the corporate Exchange server. You can make this XML file available to
the user by sending it to the user’s personal e-mail account, which the user can access using an unsecured
visitor network connection, or the user’s home internet connection. Or you can also put the XML configuration
file on a Web server, making it accessible to any user that already has the proper intranet credentials.
Once the XML configuration file is received by the user, that user simply taps the file and the Lenovo
Configuration Profile Handler is launched to import and apply the configuration settings on the device. The
user may be prompted to enter personal logon credentials if they were not included in the configuration file,
but all of the common server information and settings will be predefined for the user.
You can secure the XML configuration file by digitally signing and/or encrypting it. Encrypting helps ensure
that sensitive data included in the configuration file, such as passwords, cannot be read by unauthorized
users. Digital signatures helps ensure that the contents of the file are not changed in any way.
The Configuration Profile Sign and Encrypt Utility allows signing of the configuration profile with an
embedded private key. The utility also allowsthe file to be encrypted using an encryption key derived
from the password provided to the utility.
The XML configuration file naming convention always has a file extension of .lenovoconfig, so that the
ThinkPad Tablet will recognize it as a configuration file. The file consists of three parts:
1. LenovoConfigSettings
2. LenovoPolicySettings
3. AndroidPolicySettings

© Copyright Lenovo 2011

The LenovoConfigSettings section provides control for the security and encryption for the ThinkPad Tablet. It
imports configuration settings such as WiFi profiles, corporate domain servers, virtual private networks, and
certificates. Once these are applied, they cannot be deleted.
The LenovoPolicySettings section allows you to set controls for the various functions of the ThinkPad tablet
such as the camera, microphone, SD cards and Bluetooth, and Wifi radios. Any of these functions can be
enabled or disabled depending on your corporate policy.
The AndroidPolicySetting section is used to set up policy settings supported natively by Android, including
storage encryption, password length, number of numbers and letters required.
Note that a UUID is required for each XML file that you create. If you want to overwrite or remove any existing
policies, you can send down a new file with the same UUID of the existing applied policy, and it will overwrite
the existing file. Since multiple XML files (with different UUIDs)can be resident on the ThinkPad Tablet, the
file with the strongest policies will be applied. For example, if you have an XML file that requires only a
numeric password and another file with a different UUID that requires a longer, alphanumeric password, the
file with the alphanumeric password will be applied.
The following tables provide information on settings for the XML file. The table headers are:
• Setting - The setting in the xml file that you can use require a user to log in to a corporate server or to allo
or prevent user from using a certain function require of the device.
• Parameter - The fields in the setting that you assign a value for the user to fill in
• Value - The required value you need to enter for that field such as server address, user id, Yes/No and
so on.
• Notes - Any special notes that apply to a setting.

The ThinkPad Tablet XML schema can be found on the Lenovo Website at www.lenovo.com/support. Active Directory domain server An exclusive feature of the Lenovo ThinkPad tablet is that you can use Microsoft Active Directory to allow the user to unlock the ThinkPad Tablet using corporate credentials. You set the XML file to require an Active directory logon, and the user touches Settings->Location & Security->Configure lock screen->Corporate logon. The user enters the domain name or IP address, user name, and password. After this, the user can only use the Active Directory domain credentials to unlock the machine. Configuration Profile Sign and Encrypt Utility IT administrators can secure the XML configuration file by digitally signing and/or encrypting it. Encrypting helps ensure that sensitive data included in the configuration file, such as passwords, cannot be read by unauthorized parties. Digital signatures help ensure that the contents of the file are not tampered with. The Configuration Profile Sign and Encrypt Utility allows signing of the configuration profile with an embedded private key. The utility will also allow the file to be encrypted using an encryption key derived from the password provided to the utility. This component is intended only for the preparation of the XML configuration file for deployment to devices. It is available at www.lenovo.com/support and click Download Drivers & Software Lenovo Profile Manager The Lenovo Profile Manager is an Android application (APK) that is preloaded on the ThinkPad Tablet. This APK takes XML configuration files and has the configuration and policy settings applied, and displays information about new and installed configuration profiles. Chapter 2. Configuration 11 A configuration file received by the ThinkPad Tablet must have a specific file extension (.lenovoconfig). The Lenovo Profile Manager is registered as the handler for files with this extension. When a file with this extension is received on the device and tapped by the user, the XML Configuration Profile Handler will run. The Lenovo Profile Manager calls into the Lenovo Device Policy Manager Service to perform an initial parse of the contents of the file. The initial parse: • Verifies that the XML file contents are valid against the schema • Determines what settings are included in the file The Lenovo Profile Manager is registered as an Android Device Administration Receiver using the native Android capabilities. The Lenovo Profile Manager also displays information about the installed profiles to the user. When the user touches Settings->Location & security->Configuration profiles, a list of installed profiles will be displayed using the “DisplayName” property of the configuration file. If no profiles are installed, the application will display the message “No configuration profiles have been applied.” If multiple profiles are installed, the user will see a list of them. The device will show which policy is the applied policy at the bottom of the page. If the user selects an installed profile from the list, the details of the configuration settings in that list will be displayed. All installed profiles are displayed by the Configuration Profile Handler. This allows the user to view all configuration settings that have been applied. The profile display also allows the user to remove selected profiles. Only configuration profiles that were installed by the Lenovo Profile Manager can be removed by the user, as long as you did not set the property indicating that the policy cannot be removed. Configuration settings that were not set by the Lenovo Profile Manager will be displayed, but cannot be removed by the user. The Lenovo Profile Manager also calls into the Lenovo Device Policy Manager Service to receive a list of installed profiles, and receives the list of installed profiles, their source, and whether the profile is allowed to be installed from the Lenovo Device Policy Manager Service. 12 ThinkPad Tablet Deployment Guide Chapter 3. Using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync The ThinkPad Tablet includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. The ThinkPad Tablets can be managed with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync in the same way as other mobile devices. Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync offers pushmail capability for mobile devices. In addition to pushing e-mail and calendar entries, ActiveSync allows the you to push device policies. The ThinkPad Tablet supports the following Exchange ActiveSync controls: • Remote wipe • Password policies • Device encryption • Camera • Wi-Fi • Bluetooth • Sync from PC • Removable storage • SD card encryption Once a ThinkPad Tablet is configured to connect to the Exchange server, policy settings pushed to the device from the Exchange server are automatically applied, ensuring that the device maintains the security settings that your IT department requires. The ThinkPad tablet e-mail client includes support for Exchange ActiveSync policies. These policies are for password enforcement and for device encryption. Those settings natively supported by Android, including password and device encryption, are supported without change by Lenovo. This component extends the native ActiveSync capability built into the e-mail client to support additional device policies not natively supported by Android. The additional ActiveSync policies supported on the ThinkPad Tablet include: • Removable storage (USB port and SD card enable/disable) • Camera • WiFi • Desktop synchronization (micro USB enable/disable) • Bluetooth (only Bluetooth enable/disable is supported. If the you set Bluetooth to “Handsfree only” in the ActiveSync console, it disables the Bluetooth radio). © Copyright Lenovo 2011 13 14 ThinkPad Tablet Deployment Guide Chapter 4. Lenovo Mobility Manager Lenovo has a mobility management plug-in that enables you to: • Discover devices, without an agent at the point of data access, through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync systems • Know which users are consuming corporate data and what devices they are using • Push down corporate management and security settings to out-of-policy devices • Wipe data using a single user-based policy from devices that are lost or stolen or when someone leaves your organization • Improve business processes for reclaiming corporate IT assets and proprietary information as in the case of employee termination The Lenovo Mobility Manager requires the user to log in to the configuration server using a PIN, which the user retrieves by logging in to a PIN server from a PC. The user authenticates to the PIN server using corporate credentials, and supplies that PIN when logging on to the Lenovo Mobility Manager configuration server from his ThinkPad Tablet. After connecting to the configuration server, the IT-provided configuration information is pushed to the device and the device is automatically configured. To use the Mobility management tools, the following prerequisites are required: • Lenovo ThinkManagement Console Version 9.0 with SP2 or later. • For Exchange-enabled devices, you must have installed the Exchange Management Tools, available as an option from within the Microsoft Exchange installation. • Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Internet Information Services (IIS) must be installed and registered. When a mobile device logs in to synchronize e-mail, contact, and calendar information, it does so using an existing Outlook mailbox account. Once the device has logged in, the Exchange server stores identifying information in its database, including the Device ID, owner, the date/time it logged in, and so on. That information can then be retrieved from the Exchange server and displayed in the Mobility management tool. © Copyright Lenovo 2011 15 16 ThinkPad Tablet Deployment Guide Appendix A.
