security policies.

XML Provisioning

To configure the settings on an MC9190-G, use XML provisioning. To install an XML provisioning file on the

MC9190-G, create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF). A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and contains just one file:

_setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a CPF extracts the

XML code and uses it to provision and configure the MC9190-G. The user receives an e-mail notification indicating

success or failure.

XML provisioning provides the ability to configure various features of the MC9190-G (i.e., registry and file system).

However, some settings require security privileges. To change registry settings via a CPF file, you must have

certain privileges (roles). Some registry keys require you to simply be an Authenticated User, while other registry

keys require you to be a Manager. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file, Metabase Settings for

Registry Configuration Service Provider section, for the default role settings in Windows Mobile 6.5.

For those registry settings that require the Manager role, the CPF file must be signed with a privileged certificate

installed on the device. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file and the Windows Mobile 6 SDK for

instructions and sample test certificates.

Creating an XML Provisioning File

To create a .cpf file:

1. Create a valid provisioning XML file named _setup.xml using an XML editor or the tools supplied with Visual

Studio 2005. (For example, use the SampleReg.xml sample created in the RegMerge section and rename it

_setup.xml.) Ensure the file contains the required parameters for the operation. Refer to the Microsoft Windows

Mobile 6 Help file for information.

2. In the Windows Mobile 6.5 tools directory on the desktop computer (typically \Program Files\Windows CE

Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC SDK\Tools), run the Makecab.exe utility, using the following

syntax to create a .cpf file from the _setup.xml file:

MakeCab.exe /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml myOutCpf

3. Optionally, use the Authenticode tools to sign the .cpf file.

4. Tap the filename to install.

5. Certain applications and settings require a cold boot to take affect. In these cases, cold boot the MC9190-G.

Refer to the Windows Mobile Version 6 Help file for more information.

XML Provisioning vs. RegMerge and Copy File

Prior to Windows Mobile 6.5, Motorola used two drivers (RegMerge and CopyFiles) to update the registry and to

copy files during a cold boot. With Mobile 6.5, Motorola recommends using XML provisioning instead. RegMerge

and CopyFiles are supported for backward compatibility but Motorola may eliminate support in the future. The

following sections provide examples of how RegMerge and CopyFiles were used, and how to perform the same

function using XML provisioning.

NOTE COMPRESS=OFF is required for backward compatibility with Pocket PC.
