Anyone else having this problem. Just got my iP4 (which I *love*), but the auto-lock setting is greyed out (and apparently set to 1 minute).
 
It's because of your exchange email account.

Thanks. Just found this note this morning as well:

TUAW is reporting that Google Apps users who tried to setup their account using Microsoft Exchange (ActiveSync) ended up with auto-lock automatically set to 1 minute.

“Apparently this is due to the security certificates that Google uses with its Exchange servers. The servers can force security options on compatible devices, which your iPhone becomes once it is running iOS 4.

To be clear: if you have a regular Gmail account and set it up using Exchange, this auto-lock requirement will not be triggered. But if you use Google Apps for your personal domain, it may.”


I wonder if this is going to remain that way or if it's a bug.

I am the Administrator of our Google Apps account and I currently don't enable the "Require users to set passwords on their devices" setting where I can force this auto-lock time period. Yet, at the user level, we still can't adjust it.
