Use standards-based services for Apple devices
Apple devices can integrate with most standards-based environments, given their support for the IMAP mail protocol, LDAP directory services, CalDAV calendaring, and CardDAV contacts protocols. If your network environment is configured to require user authentication and SSL, your Apple devices support X.509 root certificates that are issued by the major certificate authorities.
In a typical deployment, Apple devices establish direct access to IMAP and SMTP mail servers to do the following:
Send and receive mail wirelessly (for Mac computers, wirelessly or using Ethernet)
Set VIP status in message threads
Wirelessly update notes with IMAP-based servers
Apple devices can connect to your organization’s LDAPv3 corporate directories, giving users access to corporate contacts in the Contacts, Calendar, and Mail apps. CardDAV support lets your users maintain a set of contacts synced with your CardDAV server using the vCard format. For more information, see Integrate Apple devices with Microsoft Exchange.
All network services and servers can be within a DMZ subnetwork, behind a corporate firewall, or both.
Internationalized Domain Names support
Safari supports the latest ICANN-approved Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). IDNs are domain names that contain at least one label in a language-specific script or alphabet—for example, Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Tamil, and Hebrew, or the Latin alphabet-based characters that have been extended by the use of diacritics or ligatures, such as in the French and German alphabets.
