We have an iPad application that we would like to distribute internally. We are studying the "Distribution of enterprises." The set of requirements that I gave includes what the distribution method should be for the user to go to a secure website from the iPad, register and download the application. Then the application works for them.
Users who do not have access to the website should not have access to the application. We can easily prevent them from downloading the application by forcing them to log in. However, it does not seem obvious to me that after they download the application (via the .ipa file?), They cannot simply transfer it to someone else, something that is not allowed.
It seems that this is due to the presence of distribution profiles that determine whether this application will work on the device. However, it does not seem obvious to me that they could not be simply copied.

Once you create an enterprise resource allocation profile, download .mobileprovision, and then safely distribute it and your application.
Unfortunately, I don’t know enough to know exactly what I should ask, but it says:
- Is it possible to copy ipa files from one iPad to another, allowing someone to use any given application? (provided that the application has no other protection)
- If the answer to question 1 is yes, is there any reason to believe that the .mobileprovision files will help me?
