Add Wi-Fi settings for macOS devices in Microsoft Intune

  • Artikkel

You can create a profile with specific Wi-Fi settings, and then deploy this profile to your macOS devices using Intune. As part of your mobile device management (MDM) solution, use these settings to authenticate your network, add a PKCS (Public Key Cryptography Standards) or SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) certificate, configure a proxy, and more.

This feature applies to:

  • macOS

These Wi-Fi settings are separated in to two categories: Basic settings and Enterprise settings.

This article describes the settings you can configure.

Before you begin

Basic profiles

Basic or personal profiles use WPA/WPA2 to secure the Wi-Fi connection on devices. Typically, WPA/WPA2 is used on home networks or personal networks. You can also add a pre-shared key to authenticate the connection.

  • Wi-Fi type: Select Basic.

  • SSID: This service set identifier (SSID) property is the real name of the wireless network that devices connect to. However, users only see the network name you configured when they choose the connection.

  • Connect automatically: Select Enable to automatically connect to this network when the device is in range. Select Disable to prevent devices from automatically connecting.

  • Hidden network: Select Enable to hide this network from the list of available networks on the device. The SSID isn't broadcasted. Select Disable to show this network in the list of available networks on the device.

  • Security type: Select the security protocol to authenticate to the Wi-Fi network. Your options:

    • Open (no authentication): Only use this option if the network is unsecured.
    • WPA/WPA2 - Personal: Enter the password in Pre-shared key (PSK). When your organization's network is set up or configured, a password or network key is also configured. Enter this password or network key for the PSK value.
    • WEP

  • Proxy settings: Your options:

    • None: No proxy settings are configured.

    • Manual: Enter the Proxy server address as an IP address, and its Port number.

    • Automatic: Use a file to configure the proxy server. Enter the Proxy server URL that contains the configuration file. For example, enter http://proxy.contoso.com, 10.0.0.11, or http://proxy.contoso.com/proxy.pac.

      For more information on PAC files, go to Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file (opens a non-Microsoft site).

Enterprise profiles

Enterprise profiles use Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate Wi-Fi connections. EAP is often used by enterprises, as you can use certificates to authenticate and secure connections, and configure more security options.

  • Wi-Fi type: Select Enterprise.

  • SSID: Short for service set identifier. This property is the real name of the wireless network that devices connect to. However, users only see the network name you configured when they choose the connection.

  • Connect automatically: Select Enable to automatically connect to this network when the device is in range. Select Disable to prevent devices from automatically connecting.

  • Hidden network: Select Enable to hide this network from the list of available networks on the device. The SSID isn't broadcasted. Select Disable to show this network in the list of available networks on the device.

  • EAP type: Select the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) type used to authenticate secured wireless connections. Your options:

    • EAP-FAST: Enter the Protected Access Credential (PAC) Settings. This option uses protected access credentials to create an authenticated tunnel between the client and the authentication server. Your options:

      • Do not use (PAC)
      • Use (PAC): If an existing PAC file exists, use it.
      • Use and Provision PAC: Create and add the PAC file to your devices.
      • Use and Provision PAC Anonymously: Create and add the PAC file to your devices without authenticating to the server.

    • EAP-SIM

    • EAP-TLS: Also enter:

      • Certificate server names: Add one or more common names used in the certificates issued by your trusted certificate authority (CA). When you enter this information, you can bypass the dynamic trust window displayed on user's devices when they connect to this Wi-Fi network.

      • Root certificate for server validation: Select one or more existing trusted root certificate profiles. When the client connects to the network, these certificates are used to establish a chain of trust with the server. If your authentication server uses a public certificate, then you don't need to include a root certificate.

      • Certificates: Select the SCEP or PKCS client certificate profile that is also deployed to the device. This certificate is the identity presented by the device to the server to authenticate the connection.

      • Identity privacy (outer identity): Enter the text sent in the response to an EAP identity request. This text can be any value, such as anonymous. During authentication, this anonymous identity is initially sent. Then, the real identification is sent in a secure tunnel.

    • EAP-TTLS: Also enter:

      • Certificate server names: Add one or more common names used in the certificates issued by your trusted certificate authority (CA). When you enter this information, you can bypass the dynamic trust window displayed on user's devices when they connect to this Wi-Fi network.

      • Root certificates for server validation: Select one or more existing trusted root certificate profiles. When the client connects to the network, these certificates are presented to the server. They authenticate the connection.

      • Authentication method: Select the authentication method used by your device clients. Your options:

        • Username and Password: Prompt the user for a user name and password to authenticate the connection. Also enter:

          • Non-EAP method (inner identity): Choose how you authenticate the connection. Be sure you choose the same protocol that is configured on your Wi-Fi network.

            Your options: Unencrypted password (PAP), Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), Microsoft CHAP (MS-CHAP), or Microsoft CHAP Version 2 (MS-CHAP v2)

        • Certificates: Select the SCEP or PKCS client certificate profile that is also deployed to the device. This certificate is the identity presented by the device to the server to authenticate the connection.

        • Identity privacy (outer identity): Enter the text sent in the response to an EAP identity request. This text can be any value, such as anonymous. During authentication, this anonymous identity is initially sent. Then, the real identification is sent in a secure tunnel.

    • LEAP

    • PEAP: Also enter:

      • Certificate server names: Add one or more common names used in the certificates issued by your trusted certificate authority (CA). When you enter this information, you can bypass the dynamic trust window displayed on user's devices when they connect to this Wi-Fi network.

      • Root certificate for server validation: Select one or more existing trusted root certificate profiles. When the client connects to the network, these certificates are used to establish a chain of trust with the server. If your authentication server uses a public certificate, then you don't need to include a root certificate.

      • Authentication method: Select the authentication method used by your device clients. Your options:

        • Username and Password: Prompt the user for a user name and password to authenticate the connection.

        • Certificates: Select the SCEP or PKCS client certificate profile that is also deployed to the device. This certificate is the identity presented by the device to the server to authenticate the connection.

        • Identity privacy (outer identity): Enter the text sent in the response to an EAP identity request. This text can be any value, such as anonymous. During authentication, this anonymous identity is initially sent. Then, the real identification is sent in a secure tunnel.

  • Proxy settings: Select a proxy configuration. Your options:

    • None: No proxy settings are configured.

    • Manual: Enter the Proxy server address as an IP address, and its Port number.

    • Automatic: Use a file to configure the proxy server. Enter the Proxy server URL that contains the configuration file. For example, enter http://proxy.contoso.com, 10.0.0.11, or http://proxy.contoso.com/proxy.pac.
