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.

On the menu bar, click

Policies and Profiles

Click

Networks and connections > Wi-Fi

Click

Type a name and description for the

Wi-Fi

profile. This information is displayed on devices.

In the

SSID

field, type the network name of a

Wi-Fi

network.

If the

Wi-Fi

network does not broadcast the SSID, select the

Hidden network

check box.

Click the tab for a device type to configure the appropriate settings. For more information, see the Wi-Fi profile settings for iOS and macOS, Android, and Windows.

If your organization requires that users provide a username and password to connect to the

Wi-Fi

network, in the

Username

field, type

%UserName%

Repeat step 7 for each device type.

Assign the

Wi-Fi
