Target OS

Used to enter the operating system of the target device.

Parm Name: TargetOS

Option Name Description Note Status 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 most of the Wi-Fi settings described 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 Note Status 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 is retained.

Wi-Fi Sleep Policy

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

Android devices by default enter sleep mode after being idle for a specified period of time. While in this mode, apps run in a lower-power state.

Note: This parameter cannot be configured in devices running Android 8.x and higher; Oreo locks the Wi-Fi radio into the "AlwaysOn" setting.

Parm Name: WifiSleepPolicy

Option Name Description Note Status 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 is retained.

MX: 4.2+

0 AlwaysOn Causes the Wi-Fi radio to remain enabled when the device goes to sleep, providing running apps with uninterrupted access to Wi-Fi (NOTE- This is the permanent state of devices running Android 8.x Oreo).

MX: 4.2+

1 PluggedIn Causes the Wi-Fi radio to remain enabled only when the device is plugged in and not running on battery power regardless of sleep state, providing running apps with uninterrupted access to Wi-Fi.

MX: 4.2+

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

MX: 4.2+

Networks 'Available' Notification

Controls whether to display user notifications when unknown, open networks such as those offered by public Wi-Fi come into range of the device. If enabled, the user is 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.

Country

Used to select country-specific Wi-Fi regulatory settings. Choosing "AUTO" enables selection through 802.11d, 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.

SSID

Used to enter the SSID name of the network on which to perform a Network Action. The SSID is the primary mechanism used to identify a Wi-Fi network and the Wi-Fi network profile to be acted upon.

Parm value input rules:

  • String from 1–32 characters

Shown if: The Network Action is NOT "Do Nothing" or "Disable All Existing Networks" or "Remove All Existing Networks"

Parm Name: SSID

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Security Mode

Used to set device security on networks that employ 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) security. This protocol uses 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.

Open network security is not generally advisable since no security credentials are needed to connect. If an open network is to be used, security can be added through VPNs, data encryption or other means.

Basic security generally implements a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key known to the device and the Wi-Fi infrastructure to encrypt data. These networks are more secure than open networks, but can be compromised if the keys are not handled securely and/or changed periodically. Security information pertaining to the required key must be supplied to configure these networks.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add"

Parm Name: SecurityMode

Key Type

Used to enter 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 enter the key.

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 is specified as clear or encrypted text.

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

Parm Name: ProtectKey

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Passphrase

Controls whether the Key is encrypted. When the Key Type is Passphrase, then the specified Passphrase is 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.

Identity

Used to enter 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.

Entering 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" and the Authentication is "PEAP-NONE"

Parm Name: Identity

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Anonymous Identity

Used to enter 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 enter 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 is 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 from 0–64 characters

Note: Entering 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" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise" and the Authentication is NOT "EAP-TLS" or "LEAP"

Parm Name: AnonymousIdentity

Requires:

  • MX: 4.2+

Protect Password (checkbox)

Controls whether passwords are 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 might be desirable as a security measure to prevent extraction and exploitation in case the XML is intercepted while in transit.

A 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" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise" and the Authentication is NOT "EAP-TLS"

Parm Name: ProtectPassword

Option Name Description Note Status Requires
0 (unchecked) Passwords are stored in clear text on the device unless specifically encrypted using the Password Protect Encryption parameter.

MX: 4.2+

1 (checked) Encrypted and clear-text Passwords are stored in a protected area on the device that is NOT accessible by users or unauthorized applications.

MX: 4.2+

Password

Used to enter 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" 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" and the Security Mode is "Enterprise" and the Authentication is NOT "EAP-TLS"

Parm value input rules:

  • String from 0–64 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+

Optional Server CA Cert Name

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

Parm value input rules:

  • String from 0–64 characters

NOTES:

  • Applicability of this Enterprise Authentication option might depend on the version of Android running in the device. See Authentication parameter for verify applicability.

  • When Security Mode is "Enterprise," the device must authenticate to an Authentication Server using the defined Authentication type. This involves sending potentially sensitive authentication credentials to the Authentication Server. Zebra recommends against this unless the authenticity of the Authentication Server can be verified, for example to ensure that 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 is 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 is 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.

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

  • In the special case involving a server using a self-signed certificate, the server’s own certificate is also the Root CA Cert that stands behind the server’s certificate.

Shown if: The Network Action is "Add" 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 is used to authenticate the device to the authentication server as part of the establishment of the secure tunnel over which further authentication credentials is 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 from 0–64 characters

NOTES:
