I'd be more interested in a method for doing this in a .mobileconfig file, or 
for them to fix it in a manner that doesn't involve us having to mess about on 
the clients.

Is anyone working on (or successfully implemented) a scalable, automated(?) 
solution to change the SSL to 'Always Trust' for target certs and distributed 
this to their client devices en masse? x-press-con-nect folks offered a glimmer 
of hope for adding this feature to their routine but I was wondering if we 
could do something quicker.

Has anyone tweaked Apple's command - suggested in their KB article - into an 
Applescript for distribution? As the cert is already installed on the devices I 
would thing some modification is needed.
