Protocols | |
Authentication protocol | This setting specifies the EAP methods that the Wi-Fi network supports. You can select multiple EAP methods.This setting is valid only if the "Security type" setting is set to "WEP enterprise," " WPA-Enterprise ," "WPA2-Enterprise " or "WPA3-Enterprise." |
Inner authentication | This setting specifies the inner authentication method for use with TTLS. This setting is valid only if the "Authentication protocol" setting is set to "TTLS." |
Use PAC | This setting specifies whether the EAP-FAST method uses a Protected Access Credential. This setting is valid only if the "Authentication protocol" setting is set to "EAP-FAST." |
Provision PAC | This setting specifies whether the EAP-FAST method allows PAC provisioning. This setting is valid only if the "Authentication protocol" setting is set to "EAP-FAST" and the "Use PAC" setting is selected. |
Provision PAC anonymously | This setting specifies whether the EAP-FAST method allows anonymous PAC provisioning. This setting is valid only if the "Authentication protocol" setting is set to "EAP-FAST," the "Use PAC" setting is selected, and the "Provision PAC" setting is selected. |
Authentication | |
Outer identity for TTLS, PEAP, and EAP-FAST | This setting specifies the outer identity for a user that is sent in clear text. You can specify an anonymous username to hide the user's real identity (for example, anonymous). The encrypted tunnel is used to send the real username to authenticate with the Wi-Fi network. If the outer identity includes the realm name to route the request, it must be the user's actual realm (for example, anonymous@example.com).This setting is valid only if the "Authentication protocol" setting is set to "TTLS," "PEAP," or "EAP-FAST." |
Use password included in Wi-Fi profile | This setting specifies whether the Wi-Fi profile includes the password for authentication.This setting is valid only if the "Security type" setting is set to "WEP enterprise," " WPA-Enterprise ," "WPA2-Enterprise " or "WPA3-Enterprise." |
Password | This setting specifies the password that a device uses to authenticate with the Wi-Fi network.This setting is valid only if the "Use password included in Wi-Fi profile" setting is selected. |
Username | This setting specifies the username that a device uses to authenticate with the Wi-Fi network. If the profile is for multiple users, you can specify the %UserName% variable.This setting is valid only if the "Security type" setting is set to "WEP enterprise," " WPA-Enterprise ," "WPA2-Enterprise " or "WPA3-Enterprise." |
Authentication type | This setting specifies the type of authentication that a device uses to connect to the Wi-Fi network.This setting is valid only if the "Security type" setting is set to "WEP enterprise," " WPA-Enterprise ," "WPA2-Enterprise " or "WPA3-Enterprise." |
Type of certificate linking | This setting specifies the type of linking for the client certificate associated with the Wi-Fi profile.This setting is valid only if the "Authentication type" setting is set to "Shared certificate." |
Shared certificate profile | This setting specifies the shared certificate profile with the client certificate that a device uses to authenticate with the Wi-Fi network.This setting is valid only if the "Type of certificate linking" setting is set to "Single reference." |
Client certificate name | This setting specifies the name of the client certificate that a device uses to authenticate with the Wi-Fi network.This setting is valid only if the "Type of certificate linking" setting is set to "Variable injection." |
Associated SCEP profile | This setting specifies the associated SCEP profile that a device uses to obtain a client certificate to authenticate with the Wi-Fi network.This setting is valid only if the "Authentication type" setting is set to "SCEP." |
Associated user credential profile | This setting specifies the associated user credential profile that a device uses to obtain a client certificate to authenticate with the Wi-Fi network.This setting is valid only if the "Authentication type" setting is set to "User credential." |
Trust | |
Certificate common names expected from authentication server | This setting specifies the common names in the certificate that the authentication server sends to the device (for example, *.example.com).
