Create a
Wi-Fi
 profile

The required profile settings vary for each device type and depend on the
Wi-Fi
 security type and authentication protocol that you select. You can use a variable in any profile setting that is a text field to reference a value instead of specifying the actual value. 
  • If devices use certificate-based authentication for work
    Wi-Fi
     connections, create a CA certificate profile and assign it to user accounts, user groups, or device groups. To send client certificates to devices, create a SCEP, shared certificate, or user credential profile to associate with the
    Wi-Fi
     profile.
  • For
    iOS
    ,
    iPadOS
    ,
    macOS
    , and
    Android Enterprise
     devices that use a proxy server for work
    Wi-Fi
     connections, create a proxy profile to associate with the
    Wi-Fi
     profile.
