4 How to Install a Configuration on a Device
This chapter will explain how to install the configuration made in Sony Xperia Configurator on a device.

4.1 Configuration State
The Configuration State indicates what state the Configuration Setting items are in. (See Figure 12:
Configuration State).
There are three states:
•

Not configured: This means that the particular configuration setting is not set. A profile option
in this state will not be installed on the device.

•

Not saved: This means that a mandatory field in a configuration setting is not set. This state
will also be displayed if a change made in a configuration setting has not been saved.

•

Configured: This means that the particular configuration setting is set.

Figure 12: Configuration State

4.2 Mandatory Fields
A field indicated with an asterisk (*) and a red border, is mandatory; it has to be filled with data
otherwise the profile cannot be saved or installed on a device.
If a mandatory field is empty when the profile is saved, the setting icon will be indicated with a red
border and the Configuration Status will change to “not saved”. (See Figure 13: Mandatory Fields).

Figure 13: Mandatory Fields

4.3 Connect a Device to the Sony Xperia Configurator
When a device is connected, a security dialog will appear on both the PC and on the device. The user
must verify that the connection is genuine by comparing the numbers on the device and on the PC.

1. On the device, click OK to confirm the numbers displayed on the PC and on the device. (See
Figure 14: Confirm Configuration).

Figure 14: Confirm Configuration

2. If a connection is successful, the name of the device will be listed under Connected Device in
the Task View. (See Figure 15: Connected Device).

Figure 15: Connected Device

4.4 Install a Configuration
Follow these steps to install a configuration profile on a device.
Note: Some devices do not support all Sony Xperia Configurator features. When these devices are
connected, some configuration settings will be grayed out in the Configure Profile view. When
you install the profile, these grayed out settings will not be applied on the device. The
installation dialog will say the installation was successful, even though the grayed out settings
were not applied.
1. In the Profiles list, check the checkbox next to the profile to install. (See Figure 16: Install a
Profile on Device).
2. Click the Install button.
Note: Installing a new profile overrides the existing profile on the device.
Note: It is also possible to install a profile from the Configure Profile view. (See 3.2.6 Install a
Profile on a Device).

Figure 16: Install a Profile on Device

3. An installation dialog appears. (See Figure 17: Installation Dialog).

Figure 17: Installation Dialog

4. When the installation dialog displays “installations successful”, the installation has completed
successfully. (See Figure 18: Installation Successful).

Figure 18: Installation Successful

5 Error Messages
This chapter describes error messages that may appear when installing profiles using the Sony Xperia
Configurator. Each message listing in Table 2 contains the message statement, an explanation of the
probable causes of the message, and a recommended action.
Error Message Statement

Explanation

Recommended Action

“VPN_PROFILE: Keystore is locked/not
initialized.”

The VPN account
could not be
created because
the Keystore in
the device has not
been initialized.

This can be fixed by fixed by
setting a password on the
device. The device must be
password protected to be
able to create VPN accounts.

“POP_IMAP_ACCOUNT:
RESULT_DUPLICATE_ACCOUNT”

An email account
with that mail
server and user
name already
exists on the
device.

• If the account existing on
the device is the correct,
nothing needs to be done:
error can be ignored.

“EAS_ACCOUNT_WITHOUT_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE: An Exchange
RESULT_DUPLICATE_ACCOUNT”
ActiveSync
account with the
same Active Sync
“EAS_ACCOUNT_WITH_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:
host and user
RESULT_DUPLICATE_ACCOUNT”
name already
exists.

“CERTIFICATE: Failed because screen lock is not
activated.”

Table 2: Common Error Messages

Certificates could
not be installed
because the
device is not
locked by a
password.

• If the account on the
device needs to be updated,
the account needs to be
removed manually in the
device, and then the profile
can be installed again.
• If a new account should be
created, the server and/or
user name needs to be
changed in the profile, and
then install the profile again.
A password or PIN must be
set on the device to make it
possible to install
certificates.
