Add Wi-Fi settings for devices running Android device administrator in Microsoft Intune

  • Članek

You can create a profile with specific WiFi settings, and then deploy this profile to your Android devices. Microsoft Intune offers many features, including authenticating to your network, adding a PKCS or SCEP certificate, and more.

This feature applies to:

  • Android device administrator (DA)

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

Important

Microsoft Intune is ending support for Android device administrator management on devices with access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) on December 31, 2024. After that date, device enrollment, technical support, bug fixes, and security fixes will be unavailable. If you currently use device administrator management, we recommend switching to another Android management option in Intune before support ends. For more information, see Ending support for Android device administrator on GMS devices.

Before you begin

Basic

  • Wi-Fi type: Choose Basic.

  • SSID: Enter the service set identifier, which 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.

    You can only deploy one Wi-Fi profile to the same device with the same SSID. If you try to deploy multiple Wi-Fi profiles to the same device with the same SSID, then the profile isn't deployed to the device.

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

Enterprise

  • Wi-Fi type: Choose Enterprise.

  • SSID: Enter the service set identifier, which 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.

    You can only deploy one Wi-Fi profile to the same device with the same SSID. If you try to deploy multiple Wi-Fi profiles to the same device with the same SSID, then the profile isn't deployed to the device.

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

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

    • EAP-TLS: Also enter:

      • Server Trust - 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.

      • Client Authentication - Client certificate for client authentication (Identity certificate): Choose 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, and then followed by the real identification sent in a secure tunnel.​

    • EAP-TTLS: Also enter:

      • Server Trust - 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.

        Note

        For Android 11 and newer, Google requires a Trusted root certificate.

      • Client Authentication: Choose an Authentication method. 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's configured on your Wi-Fi network. Your options:

            • Unencrypted password (PAP)
            • Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
            • Microsoft CHAP (MS-CHAP)
            • Microsoft CHAP Version 2 (MS-CHAP v2)

        • Certificates: Choose 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, and then followed by the real identification sent in a secure tunnel.

    • PEAP: Also enter:

      • Server Trust - 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.

      • Client Authentication: Choose an Authentication method. Your options:

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

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

            • None
            • Microsoft CHAP Version 2 (MS-CHAP v2)

        • Certificates: Choose 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, and then followed by the real identification sent in a secure tunnel.

Next steps

The profile is created, but it's not doing anything. Next, assign this profile.
