Add Wi-Fi settings for iOS and iPadOS devices in Microsoft Intune

  • מאמר

You can create a profile with specific WiFi settings, and then deploy this profile to your iOS/iPadOS 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:

  • iOS/iPadOS

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

This article describes the settings you can configure.

Before you begin

Basic profiles

  • Wi-Fi type: Select Basic.

  • Network name: Enter a name for this Wi-Fi connection. Users see this name when they browse the list of available connections on their device.

  • 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: Enable automatically connects to this network when the device is in range. Disable prevents devices from automatically connecting.

  • Hidden network: Enable matches this device setting with the setting on the router Wi-Fi configuration. So if the network is set to hidden, then the network is also hidden in the Wi-Fi profile. Select Disable if the network SSID is broadcasted and visible.

  • 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).

  • Disable MAC address randomization: Starting with iOS/iPadOS 14, devices present a randomized MAC address instead of the physical MAC address when connecting to a network. Using randomized MAC addresses is recommended for privacy, as it's harder to track a device by its MAC address. However, randomized MAC addresses break functionality that relies on a static MAC address, including network access control (NAC).

    Your options:

    • Not configured: Intune doesn't change or update this setting. By default, when devices connect to a new network, devices present a randomized MAC address instead of the physical MAC address.
    • Yes: Forces devices to present their actual Wi-Fi MAC address instead of a random MAC address. Yes allows devices to be tracked by their MAC address. Only disable MAC address randomization when necessary, such as for network access control (NAC) support.
    • No: Enables MAC address randomization on devices. Users can't turn it off. When devices connect to a new network, devices present a randomized MAC address, instead of the physical MAC address.

    This setting applies to:

    • iOS 14.0 and newer
    • iPadOS 14.0 and newer

Enterprise profiles

  • Wi-Fi type: Select Enterprise.

  • Network name: Enter a name for this Wi-Fi connection. Users see this name when they browse the list of available connections on their device.

  • 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: Enable automatically connects to this network when the device is in range. Disable prevents devices from automatically connecting.

  • Hidden network: Enable matches this device setting with the setting on the router Wi-Fi configuration. So if the network is set to hidden, then the network is also hidden in the Wi-Fi profile. Select Disable if the network SSID is broadcasted and visible.

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

    • WPA - Enterprise
    • WPA/WPA2 - Enterprise

  • 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) to your wireless network access servers. For example, add mywirelessserver.contoso.com or mywirelessserver. 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. If you have multiple Radius servers with the same DNS suffix in their fully qualified domain name, then you can enter a wildcard suffix. For example, you can enter *.contoso.com.

      • 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. This certificate allows the client to trust the wireless network access server's certificate.

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

        • Derived credential: Use a certificate that is derived from a user's smart card. If no derived credential issuer is configured, Intune prompts you to add one. For more information, go to Use derived credentials in Microsoft Intune.

        • 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) to your wireless network access servers. For example, add mywirelessserver.contoso.com or mywirelessserver. 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. This certificate allows the client to trust the wireless network access server's certificate.

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

        • Derived credential: Use a certificate that is derived from a user's smart card. If no derived credential issuer is configured, Intune prompts you to add one. For more information, go to Use derived credentials in Microsoft Intune.

        • 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) to your wireless network access servers. For example, add mywirelessserver.contoso.com or mywirelessserver.
