Create a
Wi-Fi
profile

The required profile settings vary for each device type and depend on the

Wi-Fi

security type and authentication protocol that you select.

If devices use certificate-based authentication for work

Wi-Fi

connections, create a CA certificate profile and assign it to user accounts, user groups, or device groups. To send client certificates to devices, create a SCEP, shared certificate, or user credential profile to associate with the

Wi-Fi

profile.

Samsung Knox Workspace

devices don’t support using certificates sent to devices by

BlackBerry UEM

for Wi-Fi authentication. Users must set up certificate-based authentication manually on

Samsung Knox Workspace

devices.

For

BlackBerry 10

iOS

macOS

Android Enterprise

, and

Samsung Knox

devices that use a proxy server for work

Wi-Fi

connections, create a proxy profile to associate with the

Wi-Fi

profile.

BlackBerry 10

devices use a VPN for work

Wi-Fi

connections, create a VPN profile to associate with the

Wi-Fi

profile.

On the menu bar, click

Hidden network

check box.

Perform the following actions:

Click the tab for a device type.

Wi-Fi

configuration in your organization's environment. If your organization requires that users provide a username and password to connect to the

Wi-Fi

network and the profile is for multiple users, in the

field, type

%UserName%

Repeat step 7 for each device type in your organization.
