WPA Enterprise authentication

Wi-Fi Protected Access-Enterprise (WPA-Enterprise) is a wireless security mechanism designed for small to large enterprise wireless networks. It is an enhancement to the WPA security protocol with advanced authentication and encryption.

Use the following guidelines to set up WPA Enterprise authentication:

Table 49.   Wi-Fi WPA enterprise authentication field descriptions

Item	Description
Name	Enter the name to use to reference this configuration in Ivanti EPMM.
Network Name (SSID)	Enter the name (i.e., service set identifier) of the Wi-Fi network these settings apply to. This field is case sensitive.
Description	Enter additional text to clarify the purpose of this group of Wi-Fi settings.
Hidden Network	Select this option if the SSID is not broadcast.
Authentication	Select WPA Enterprise.
Data Encryption	Select the data encryption method associated with the selected authentication type. For WPA Enterprise authentication, the following encryption options are available: • AES • TKIP
User Name	Specify the variable to use as the user name when establishing the Wi-Fi connection. See Supported variables for Wi-Fi authentication
Password	Specify the variable to use and any necessary custom formatting for the Wi-Fi password. The default variable selected is $PASSWORD$. Enter additional variables or text in the text box adjacent to the Password field. Entries in this text box are kept hidden and will not be visible to any Ivanti EPMM administrator. If you specify $PASSWORD$, also enable Save User Password under Settings > System Settings > Users & Devices > Registration. All variables and text up to the last valid variable will be visible. Anything after the last valid variable will not be visible. The valid variable may appear in either of the password fields. See Supported variables for Wi-Fi authentication
Apply to Certificates	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 configuration. If you configure multiple certificates, either as root certificates in separate files, or chain certificates in a single file, they appear in the CA cert drop-down on the client, however, “unspecified” is the selected value for the certificate.
Trusted Certificate Names	This feature is not supported on Android devices. If you did not specify trusted certificates in the Apply to Certificates list, then enter the names of the authentication servers to be trusted. You can specify a particular server, such as server.mycompany.com or a partial name such as *.mycompany.com.
Allow Trust Exceptions	This feature is not supported on Android devices. Select this option to let users decide to trust a server when the chain of trust can’t be established. To avoid these prompts, and to permit connections only to trusted services, turn off this option and upload all necessary certificates.
Use Per-connection Password	This feature is not supported on Android devices. Select this option to prompt the user to enter a password each time the device connects to the Wi-Fi network.
EAP Type	Select the authentication protocol used: •PEAP •TLS •TTLS You must select only one protocol. If you select EAP-FAST, then you also need to specify the Protected Access Credential (PAC). If you select TLS, then you must specify an Identity Certificate. If you select TTLS, then you must also specify the Inner Identity Authentication Protocol. You may optionally specify an Outer Identity, which on Android devices is propagated to the Anonymous Identity field in the Android system Wi-Fi settings.
Connects To	Select Internet or Work.
Apple Settings	These features are not supported on Android devices.
Android Settings	See Wi-Fi network priority for Android devices.
Windows Settings	These settings apply only to Windows devices.
