New features and enhancements

The following new features and enhancements are available with this release:

• Disable Wi-Fi MAC address randomization field added: In iOS 14.0, the default behavior for a device reporting its Wi-Fi MAC address has changed to report a random address for new connections instead of the device's actual Wi-Fi MAC address. The device user can manually turn this on/off through their device's settings. In Core, a new option has been added to the Wi-Fi configuration to turn off this randomization.

  Upon upgrade, this option will be disabled. Administrators can turn off the randomization of the Wi-Fi MAC address by editing the Wi-Fi configuration and selecting the check the box labeled "Disable MAC address randomization." This will cause the Wi-Fi configuration to be re-pushed to all devices. Device users will see a "Privacy Warning" message on their Wi-Fi settings indicating that the network has reduced privacy protections. Changing this option in Core will disable the Private Address, but 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.
