Hi,
  I have tested what happens on iOS when I install a profile with an already expired signing certificate and except for some warnings during the installation it seems that all is fine.

  However a reinstallation of the profile, if peformed by a user, may be less trivial then one might think. In the old times the the profile was replaced when another one with the same name was installed, then Apple changed approach and they now depend on the UUID value in the profile. When it become obvious that instillation of a new profile was not deleting the previous one we have changed the algorithm for the profile generation, but if people have some relay old profiles then after an installation of the new profile they can end up with two. They could then manually remove the untrusted profile, but unfortunately this is an extra task they should perform.

Hmmm. Well I've announced this issue to the UK community anyway. Better to highlight it so any client weirdness doesn't come out of the blue

So. We're going to have clients that don't trust the profile. What happens then is down to the device and various other settings - user gets prompted about untrusted profile. Does the profile go if device is reloaded? Can user just accept once or is nagged each time they turn wifi on/off? Etc.

Basically, "if you see an issue, install a new CAT profile" is probably the best line now
