Used to specify the operating system of the target device.

Parm Name: TargetOS

Option Name Description Requires
2 Android Specifies Android as the operating system of the target device.

MX: 4.2+

Wi-Fi Enable/Disable

This is the On-Off switch for the Wi-Fi radio. Note: Wi-Fi must be enabled to change certain other Wi-Fi settings, including those controlled by the Network Actions parameter described later in this document. Attempting to change such settings while the Wi-Fi radio is disabled will return an error in the Result XML. Zebra recommends beginning any profile created to change Wi-Fi settings with a command to Enable the Wi-Fi radio.

Caution: Some Wi-Fi parameters vary from conventions used by other CSPs:

  • The "Enable" and "Disable" settings in the Wi-Fi CSP control whether a user or administrator can "turn on" and "turn off" a feature or capability, or to set its state as "active" or "inactive." Such terms in other CSPs refer to the feature's "Usage" setting, which can prevent access to the feature entirely.
  • The value "0" is used in Wi-Fi parameters to "Disable" a feature, select its default setting or "make no change" or "do nothing" to a setting. In most other CSPs, the "0" value is used to select the "make no change" option.

Parm Name: WiFiAction

Option Name Description Requires
0 Do not change This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) causes no change to Wi-Fi settings; any previously selected setting will be retained.

MX: 4.2+

1 Enable Turns the Wi-Fi radio On.

MX: 4.2+

2 Disable Turns the Wi-Fi radio Off.

MX: 4.2+

Sleep Policy

Specifies the state of the Wi-Fi radio when the device enters sleep mode. When Wi-Fi remains enabled during sleep, existing Wi-Fi connections will be maintained as during normal operations. While preferrable for some situations, this mode can significantly reduce battery life.

Android devices by default enter suspend mode after being idle for a specified period of time. While in this mode, software continues to run, but in a lower-power state.

Parm Name: WifiSleepPolicy

Option Name Description Requires
4 Do not change This (null) value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) causes no change to the current sleep policy on the device; any previously selected setting will be retained.

MX: 4.2+

0 AlwaysOn Causes the Wi-Fi radio to remain enabled when the device goes to sleep, allowing continued access to Wi-Fi for running apps.

MX: 4.2+

1 PluggedIn Causes the Wi-Fi radio to remain enabled whenever the device is plugged in and not running on battery power regardless of sleep state, allowing continued access to Wi-Fi for running apps.

MX: 4.2+

2 NeverOn Causes the Wi-Fi radio to be disabled off when the device enters sleep mode, dropping any existing Wi-Fi connections.

MX: 4.2+

Country Selection Auto/Manual

Permits the country-selection preference for network usage and Wi-Fi regulatory setting by the device to be specified. Check the box to select the country manually from the drop-down menu; leave the box unchecked to allow the network router or Wi-Fi access point to select the country using the 802.11d protocol.

Parm Name: UseRegulatory

Option Name Description Requires
11 UseRegulatory Permits manual country selection.

MX: 4.2+

12 Country Allows the country to be determined by the router.

MX: 4.2+

Country

Permits selection of country-specific Wi-Fi regulatory settings. Choosing "AUTO" enables 802.11d selection, which configures the device to listen for a country-specific beacon. Using the AUTO setting, the device will not transmit unless it can successfully detect the country and use a frequency that is consistent with the country's Wi-Fi infrastructure. This setting is the least likely to violate country-specific regulations. Countries that do not support the 802.11d infrastructure must be selected manually.

Shown if: The "Configure Country (Auto/Manual)" box is unchecked

RF Band Selection

Used to specify which RF band(s) the device will use for 802.11 communications. This parameter is usually set automatically through negotiation with the Wi-Fi infrastructure. However, it might sometimes be desirable to limit Wi-Fi communications to certain bands, leaving other bands free for other purposes.

Parm Name: BandSelection

Option Name Description Requires
0 Unchanged This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) causes no change to the band(s) currently selected on the device; any previously selected setting will be retained.

MX: 4.2+

1 2.4GHz Selects the 2.4GHz band for Wi-Fi communications.

MX: 4.2+

2 5.0GHZ Selects the 5.0GHz band for Wi-Fi communications.

MX: 4.2+

3 Auto Enables 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bands to operate on the device and allows the connection to selected automatically.

MX: 4.2+

Network Notification

Controls whether to present user notifications when unknown, open networks such as those offered by public Wi-Fi come into range of the device. If enabled, the user will be presented with the opportunity to connect with such networks. This might be desireable for personal or dual-use devices, but could introduce vulnerabilities when connecting to non-secure or otherwise unknown networks. Zebra recommends disabling Network Notification on devices intended for use only on corporate Wi-Fi networks.

Parm Name: NetworkNotification

Option Name Description Requires
2 Do not change This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will cause no change to the current network notification setting; any previously selected setting will be retained.

MX: 4.2+

1 true Enables user notifications to be displayed when unknown, open network(s) come into range.

MX: 4.2+

0 false Disables user notifications when unknown, open networks come into range.

MX: 4.2+

Set 2.4GHz Channels

Used to designate channels in the 2.4GHz band for use by the device. While channels used in this band are generally determined automatically through negotiation with the Wi-Fi infrastructure, channels or sets of channels also can be specified manually to avoid interference with other devices or to dedicate certain channels for specific purposes. Warning: Not all channels are available in all countries. See the List of WLAN Channels for more information.

Parm value input rules:

  • String from 0-64 characters containing a set of valid channels
  • Multiple values must be separated by commas (i.e. "1,6,11,14")
  • Also accepts ranges when specified with a hyphen (-) (i.e. "1,7-10")

Shown if: The selected RF Band is "2.4GHz" or "Auto"

Parm Name: 2.4GHzChannels

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Set 5.0GHz Channels

Used to designate channels in the 5GHz band for use by the device. While channels used in this band are generally determined automatically through negotiation with the Wi-Fi infrastructure, channels or sets of channels also can be specified manually to avoid interference with other devices or to dedicate certain channels for specific purposes. Warning: Not all channels are available in all countries. See the List of WLAN Channels for more information.

Parm value input rules:

  • String from 0-64 characters containing a set of valid channels
  • Multiple values must be separated by commas (i.e. "7,11,12,16...")
  • Also accepts ranges when specified with a hyphen (-) (i.e. "36-60")

Shown if: The selected RF Band is "5.0GHz" or "Auto"

Parm Name: 5.0GHzChannels

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

0 (unchecked) Disables logging on the device.

MX: 4.4+

Network Action

Used to manage the Wi-Fi network profiles on the device, each of which contains the settings necessary to connect to an individual Wi-Fi network. Any number of profiles can be defined and stored on the device using the parameters relevant to "Add a New Network" below. Profiles can be used to control the networks to which a device will be allowed to connect or to force connections to a particular network.

Parm Name: NetworkAction

Option Name Description Requires
0 Do nothing This value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will perform no Network Action.

MX: 4.2+

1 Add This value will add a new profile with the profile settings specified.

MX: 4.2+

2 Remove Remove an existing network profile based on the SSID specified.

MX: 4.2+

3 Connect Initiates a connection to an existing network based on the SSID specified.

MX: 4.2+

4 Disconnect Disconnects from a network based on the SSID specified.

MX: 4.2+

5 Enable Enables a network profile based on the SSID specified.

MX: 4.2+

6 Disable Disables a network profile based on the SSID specified.

MX: 4.2+

7 DisableAll Disables all network profiles on the device.

MX: 4.2+

8 RemoveAll Deletes all network profiles from the device.

MX: 4.2+

SSID

This is the SSID name of the network, which is the primary mechanism used to identify a Wi-Fi network and is used to identify the Wi-Fi network profile to be acted on. Therefore, any Network Action that is used to affect a single profile need to specify the SSID to select the desired profile.

Parm value input rules:

  • String with a minimum size of 1 character and a maximum size of 32 characters

Shown if: The Network Action is any option other than "Do Nothing", "Disable All Existing Networks", or "Remove All Existing Networks"

Parm Name: SSID

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Security Mode

This indicates that the network uses 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) security. These networks use authentication to establish the entitlement of a device to join the network and then distribute necessary keys once this entitlement has been verified. Security information pertaining to the EAP type and authentication credentials to be used will need to be supplied to configure these networks.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network"

Parm Name: NetworkAction

Option Name Description Requires
0 Open An open network indicates that the network uses no security. These kinds of networks are generally not advised to be used for transmitting sensitive data unless other protection mechanisms are used, such as VPNs, data encryption, etc. No additional security information will need to be supplied to configure these networks.

MX: 4.2+

1 Personal This indicates that the network uses basic security. A Pre-Shared Key (PSK) or Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) key, which is known to both the device and the Wi-Fi infrastructure, is used to encrypt data. These networks are more secure than open networks, but may be compromised if the keys are not handled securely and/or are not changed periodically. Security information pertaining to the required key will need to be supplied to configure these networks.

MX: 4.2+

2 Enterprise This value will remove the a network profile based on the SSID

MX: 4.2+

WPA Mode

When the selected Security Mode is "Personal" or "Enterprise", the WPA Mode must be specified to determine what sort of key will then be used.

Note: WEP is not supported with a Enterprise Security Mode. It is only supported using Personal Security Mode.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Personal" or "Enterprise"

Parm Name: WPAMode

Option Name Description Requires
1 WPA This indicates that the network requires encryption using the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) standard. WPA only performs encryption using the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. A TKIP-compatible key will therefore need to be specified.

MX: 4.2+

2 WPA2 This indicates that the network requires encryption using the Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) standard. WPA2 supports encryption using either the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for backward compatibility with WPA, or the more secure Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. A decision about whether to use TKIP or AES (or auto-select) will need to be made and then a TKIP or AES-compatible key will need to be specified.

MX: 4.2+

3 WPA/WPA2 This indicates that the network supports both the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) standard and the Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) standard. This is essentially the same effect as selecting WPA2 since WPA2 supports backward compatibility with WPA.

MX: 4.2+

4 WEP This indicates that the network requires encryption using the older, and less secure, Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) standard. A decision about the WEP key size to use will need to be made and then a WEP key of the selected size will need to be specified.

MX: 4.2+

Authentication

Used to specify the Authentication Mode used by the network. When a Security Mode of "Enterprise" is selected, an Authentication Mode must be specified to determine how authentication will be performed as part of the 802.1x EAP type used by the network.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise"

Parm Name: Authentication

Option Name Description Requires
1 EAP-TLS This indicates that the network requires authentication using the 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) standard (RFC 5216). EAP-TLS requires a device identity to be specified and requires that a client certificate be specified to prove the authenticity of the device identity. In all EAP modes, an optional certificate may be specified to help verify the identity of the authentication server.

MX: 4.2+

13 EAP-FAST-GTC This indicates that the network requires authentication using a token generated using a Generic Token Card (GTC) within an anonymous TLS tunnel established using the 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST) standard (RFC 5422). EAP-FAST-GTC requires a device identity to be specified and requires that a token value (typically obtained from a physical token device) be specified to prove the authenticity of that device identity. An optional client certificate may also be specified to verify the authenticity of the device identity. In all EAP modes, an optional certificate may be specified to help verify the identity of the authentication server.

MX: 4.2+

11 WPA/WPA2 This indicates that the network requires authentication using the Microsoft Challenge Authentication Protocol Version 2 (MSCHAPV2) within an anonymous TLS tunnel established using the 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST) standard (RFC 5422). EAP-FAST-MSCHAPV2 requires a device identity to be specified and requires that a password be specified to prove the authenticity of that device identity. An optional client certificate may also be specified to verify the authenticity of the device identity. In all EAP modes, an optional certificate may be specified to help verify the identity of the authentication server.

MX: 4.2+

8 EAP-TTLS-PAP This indicates that the network requires authentication using the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) within a secure TLS tunnel established using the 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol - Tunneled Transport Layer Security (EAP-TTLS) standard (RFC 5281). EAP-TTLS-PAP requires a device identity to be specified and requires that a password be specified to prove the authenticity of that device identity. An optional client certificate may also be specified to verify the authenticity of the device identity. In all EAP modes, an optional certificate may be specified to help verify the identity of the authentication server.

MX: 4.2+

6 EAP-TTLS-MSCHAP This indicates that the network requires authentication using the Microsoft Challenge Authentication Protocol (MSCHAP) within a secure TLS tunnel established using the 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol - Tunneled Transport Layer Security (EAP-TTLS) standard (RFC 5281). EAP-TTLS-MSCHAP requires a device identity to be specified and requires that a password be specified to prove the authenticity of that device identity. An optional client certificate may also be specified to verify the authenticity of the device identity. In all EAP modes, an optional certificate may be specified to help verify the identity of the authentication server.

MX: 4.2+

7 EAP-TTLS-MSCHAPV2 This indicates that the network requires authentication using the Microsoft Challenge Authentication Protocol Version 2 (MSCHAPV2) within a secure TLS tunnel established using the 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol - Tunneled Transport Layer Security (EAP-TTLS) standard (RFC 5281). EAP-TTLS-MSCHAPV2 requires a device identity to be specified and requires that a password be specified to prove the authenticity of that device identity. An optional client certificate may also be specified to verify the authenticity of the device identity. In all EAP modes, an optional certificate may be specified to help verify the identity of the authentication server.

MX: 4.2+

4 LEAP This indicates that the network requires authentication using the Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) defined by Cisco. LEAP uses a modified version of MSCHAP without a secure tunnel and hence can be easily compromised. LEAP requires a device identity to be specified and requires that a password be specified to prove the authenticity of that device identity. Unlike standard EAP modes, LEAP does not support an optional certificate to help verify the identity of the authentication server.

MX: 4.2+

2 PEAP-MSCHAPV2 This indicates that the network requires authentication using the Microsoft Challenge Authentication Protocol Version 2 (MSCHAPV2) within a secure TLS tunnel established using the Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol, (PEAP) defined by Cisco Systems, Microsoft, and RSA Security. PEAP-MSCHAPV2 requires a device identity to be specified and requires that a password be specified to prove the authenticity of that device identity. An optional client certificate may also be specified to verify the authenticity of the device identity. In all EAP modes, an optional certificate may be specified to help verify the identity of the authentication server.

MX: 4.2+

10 PEAP-GTC This indicates that the network requires authentication using a token generated using a Generic Token Card (GTC) within a secure TLS tunnel established using the Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol, (PEAP) defined by Cisco Systems, Microsoft, and RSA Security. PEAP-GTC requires a device identity to be specified and requires that a token value (typically obtained from a physical token device) be specified to prove the authenticity of that device identity. An optional client certificate may also be specified to verify the authenticity of the device identity. In all EAP modes, an optional certificate may be specified to help verify the identity of the authentication server.

MX: 4.2+

14 PEAP-NONE

MX: 5.0+

Identity

Used to specify the Identity, which can be a user name, email address, ID number or other unique identifier. The Identity combines with a Password to form an authentication credential for gaining access to a network. Authentication is required only when "Enterprise" is the selected Security Mode. Once a credential is accepted by the Authentication Server, the Identity is replaced by an encryption key and has no further significance.

Specifying an empty (length of zero) value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will fail to set an Identity.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Authentication is "PEAP-NONE"

Parm Name: Identity

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Anonymous Identity

Used to specify an Anonymous Identity for systems that support separate authentication outside of a secure tunnel.

When using an EAP type that has a secure tunnel over which authentication credentials can be delivered, it is sometimes necessary to specify an Identity outside the protections of the tunnel. In these cases, an Anonymous Identity can be sent so as not to disclose the actual Identity, password or other verifying credentials. A separate Anonymous Identity can be used only if the Authentication Server is set up to support it.

If no Anonymous Identity is specified, then the actual Identity will be sent outside the tunnel, if required. This may still be secure since the password and/or other verifying credentials are always sent inside the tunnel (in modes that use a tunnel for secure credential delivery). Using the actual Identity outside the tunnel would therefore risk disclosure of only part of the information needed to authenticate.

Parm value input rules:

  • String with a minimum of 0 characters and a maximum of 64 characters

Note: Specifying an empty (length of zero) value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will fail to set an Anonymous Identity.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise" and the Authentication is NOT "EAP-TLS" or "LEAP"

Parm Name: AnonymousIdentity

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Password

Used to specify a Password to be used to connect to a network. This parameter name will change according to the value of ProtectPassword:

If ProtectPassword is false:

  • Parm name: PasswordClear
  • Settable if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise" and the Authentication is NOT "EAP-TLS"

If Protect Password is true:

  • Parm name: PasswordEncrypted
  • Settable if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise" and the Authentication is NOT "EAP-TLS"

Parm value input rules:

  • String with a minimum of 0 characters and a maximum of 64 characters

Note: The encryption process for this parameter value is currently undocumented, and the key required to encrypt is unpublished. Since there is currently no way to store an encrypted, server-supplied password within an XML file, mobile device management (MDM) systems cannot use an encrypted password.

Parm Name: PasswordClear, PasswordEncrypted

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Protect Password

Controls whether passwords will be stored as encrypted or clear text while in transit to the device. Passwords specified in Profile Manager are embedded within an XML file and sent to the device for consumption as part of a configuration. Encrypting a Password using this parameter might be desirable as a security measure to prevent extraction and exploitation in case the XML is intercepted while in transit.

Passwords are stored in clear text on the device unless specifically encrypted using the Protect Password Encryption parameter. Encrypted and clear-text Passwords are stored in a protected area on the device that is inaccessible to users and unauthorized applications.

The Password combines with an Identity to form an authentication credential for gaining access to a network. Authentication is required only when "Enterprise" is the selected Security Mode. All authentication types require a Password except EAP-TLS, which uses a client certificate.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise" and the Authentication is NOT "EAP-TLS"

Parm Name: ProtectPassword

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Password Protect Encryption

Controls whether the Wi-Fi Password stored on the device is encrypted, thereby preventing access to the clear-text Password on the device by any application or malicious exploit.

Note: Enabling this feature prevents the Google Mobile Service (GMS) backup service from successfully restoring Wi-Fi settings to a device, and might effect the operation other device backup systems.

The Password combines with an Identity to form an authentication credential for gaining access to a network. Authentication is required only when "Enterprise" is the selected Security Mode. All authentication types require a Password except EAP-TLS, which uses a client certificate.

Server Certificate Name

Optional parameter that allows the name of a certificate alias to be used to verify the server.

Parm value input rules:

  • String with a minimum of 0 characters and a maximum of 64 characters

Notes:

  • When Security Mode is "Enterprise," the device will not need to authenticate to an Authentication Server using the defined Authentication type. This will involve sending potentially sensitive authentication credentials to the Authentication Server. Zebra does not recommended this unless the authenticity of the Authentication Server can be verified, for example, ensuring it is not attempting to carry out a "man in the middle" attack.

  • The device contacts and challenges the Authentication Server to assert and prove its Identity through the use of a server certificate. The device must be able to establish the validity of that certificate and must trust the chain of authority of the issuer of that certificate. This would all occur whether or not a Server Certificate Name is specified.

  • By default, a certificate asserted by an Authentication Server will be trusted if it can be verified to have been issued by any trusted certificate authority. If a Server Certificate Name is supplied, the certificate asserted by an Authentication Server will be trusted only if it is verified to have been issued by that specific trusted certificate authority. This increases the security by preventing the use of certificates issued by authorities that are not trusted to issue certificates to authentication servers.

  • Specifying an empty (length of zero) value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will fail to set the Optional Server Certificate.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise" and the Authentication is "EAP-TLS" or "PEAP-MSCHAPV2" or "EAP-TTLS-MSCHAP" or "EAP-FAST-MSCHAPV2" or "EAP-TTLS-PAP" or "PEAP-GTC" or "EAP-FAST-MSCHAPV2" or "EAP-FAST-GTC" or "PEAP-NONE"

Parm Name: OptionalServerCertificate

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Optional Client Certificate Name

Optional parameter that allows the name of a client certificate alias to be used to join a network. When Authenticating with EAP types other than EAP-TLS (which would not require a client certificate), a client is still allowed. In this case, the client certificate will be used to authenticate the device to the authentication server as part of the establishment of the secure tunnel over which further authentication credentials will be delivered. The client certificate does not need to be unique, even if the authentication credentials are. The use of a client certificate can introduce an additional level of protection by requiring a device to have a valid client certificate as well as valid authentication credentials. The client certificate serves as a first-pass filter.

Parm value input rules:

  • String with a minimum of 0 characters and a maximum of 64 characters

Note: Specifying an empty (length of zero) value (or the absence of this parm from the XML) will fail to set an Optional Server Certificate.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise" the Authentication is "PEAP-MSCHAPV2" or "EAP-TTLS-MSCHAP" or "EAP-TTLS-MSCHAPV2" or "EAP-TTLS-PAP" or "PEAP-GTC" or "EAP-FAST-MSCHAPV2" or "EAP-FAST-GTC" or "PEAP-NONE"

Parm Name: OptionalClientCertificate

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Mandatory Client Certificate Name

Used to specify the name of the certificate alias to be used to join the network (Mandatory). When Authenticating using EAP-TLS, a client certificate is used instead of a Password. When the Authentication type is EAP-TLS, a client certificate must be specified and a Password will not be accepted.

2 WEP-104 Selects use of the Wireless Equivalency Privacy (WEP) standard with a key size of 104 bits.

MX: 4.2+

Key Type

Used to specify the type of encryption key to be used by the network. A key is specified only when the Security Mode is "Personal" since the "Open" Security Mode does not use encryption and the "Enterprise" Security Mode distributes keys automatically after Authentication.

An encryption key can be specified using either of these methods:

  • A hexadecimal value (the key itself)
  • A passphrase used to generate a key using a pre-defined algorithm

The selected method usually depends on the configuration of the Wi-Fi network because the key must be shared between the Wi-Fi infrastructure and the client. Therefore, they must use a common method to specify the key.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Personal"

Parm Name: KeyType

Option Name Description Requires
HexKey Hex Key The key used by the network to perform encryption will be specified.

MX: 4.2+

Passphrase Passphrase A passphrase derived from the specified key and used by the network to perform encryption.

MX: 4.2+

Protect Key

Enables encryption of the Key. The Key (or the Passphrase used to generate a Key) is generally considered sensitive information since having the Key for a network grants access to that network. Since the Key or Passphrase must be embedded within the XML, it is often desirable to encrypt the Key or Passphrase so it cannot be extracted and exploited if the XML is intercepted. The specified WPA Mode and the Key Type determine what type of Key or Passphrase must used. The value selected for the ProtectKey parameter deterimes whether the Key or Passphrase will be specified as clear or encrypted text.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add a New Network" and the Security Mode is "Personal"

Parm Name: KeyType

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Passphrase

Controls whether the Key will be encrypted. When the Key Type is Passphrase, then the specified Passphrase will be used to generate the Key. The required Passphrase will vary depending on the WPA Mode specified (WEP or WPA Passphrase).

Note: Currently, the parm value encryption process is not documented and the key that is needed to encrypt is not published. Therefore, an MDM cannot currently use encrypted Keys or Passphrases since there is no way to store an encrypted, server-supplied password in XML file.
