Network device policy
The network device policy lets you manage how users connect their devices to Wi-Fi networks by defining the following items:
- Network names and types
- Authentication and security policies
- Proxy server use
- Other Wi-Fi related details
To add or configure this policy, go toConfigure > Device Policies. For more information, see德vice policies.
Prerequisites
Before you create a policy, complete the following:
- Create any delivery groups that you plan to use.
- Know the network name and type.
- Know any authentication or security types that you plan to use.
- Know any proxy server information that you might need.
- Install any necessary CA certificates.
- Have any necessary shared keys.
- Create the PKI entity for certificate-based authentication.
- Configure credential providers.
For more information, seeAuthenticationand its subarticles.
iOS settings
- Network type:In the list, chooseStandard,Legacy Hotspot, orHotspot 2.0to set the network type you plan to use.
- Network name:Type the SSID that is seen in the list of available networks for the device. Does not apply toHotspot 2.0.
- Hide network:Choose whether the network is hidden.
- Automatically join this wireless network:Choose whether a device joins the network automatically. If a device is connected to another network, it doesn’t join this network. The user must disconnect from the previous network before the device automatically connects. The default isOn.
- Disable captive network detection:The captive network assistant helps users access subscription or Wi-Fi Hotspot networks. You typically find these networks in coffee shops, hotels, and other public locations. IfOn, devices can still connect to captive networks, but the user must open a browser and log in manually. The default isOff.
- Use static MAC address:MAC addresses are unique identifiers a device transmits within a network. To increase privacy, iOS and iPadOS devices can use a different MAC address each time they connect to a network. IfOn, the device always uses the same MAC address when connecting to this network. IfOff, the device uses a different MAC address every time it connects to this network. The default isOff.
- Security type:In the list, choose the security type you plan to use. Does not apply toHotspot 2.0.
- None - Requires no further configuration.
- WEP
- WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Personal
- Any (Personal)
- WEP Enterprise
- WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise: For the latest release of Windows 10, configure the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) to use WPA-2 Enterprise. Endpoint Management can then send the certificate to the devices to authenticate to the Wi-Fi server. To configure SCEP, go to the Distribution page ofSettings > Credential Providers. For more information, seeCredential providers.
- Any (Enterprise)
