Apply to Certificates

WEP Enterprise encryption

Configure this field with the CA certificate needed to validate the Identity Certificate presented by the Wi-Fi Access Point. It is not the CA certificate needed to validate the Identity Certificate sent to the device in the Wi-Fi config.

Trusted Certificate Names

Apple Settings

These features are not supported on Mac OS devices.

Channel

For macOS only. Select one of the following distribution options:

Device channel - the configuration is effective for all users on a device. This is the typical option.
User channel - the configuration is effective only for the currently registered user on a device.

Auto Join

Specifies whether devices should automatically join the corresponding Wi-Fi network. If this option is not selected, device users must tap the network name on the device to join the network.

Disable Captive Network Detection

Select to disable Apple's Captive Network Assistant, which automatically detects captive networks. When this option is selected, device users must manually open a web browser to trigger the portal login for the captive network.

This feature is supported on devices running iOS 10 and macOS 10 through the most recently released versions as supported by MobileIron.

Disable MAC address randomization

Select to disable MAC address randomization for that Wi-Fi network while associated with the network. It also disables the Private Address. Device users will see a "Privacy Warning" message on their Wi-Fi settings indicating that the network has reduced privacy protections.

Note The Following:

•

The device user will still have the ability to set the device to report a random address for new connections instead of the device's actual Wi-Fi MAC address.

•

MDM will always get the actual MAC address. This property only affects the MAC address that the device reports to the server.

Applicable to iOS 14.0 through the latest version as supported by MobileIron.
