Specify System Profile (Deprecated)

Enable this policy to specify 802.1X System Profile for wireless network on Mac OS X 10.6 and below.

If this policy is not configured or disabled, then the system profile added by this policy will be removed.

System profile can establish wireless connection without user login.

On Mac OS X 10.5, system profile may take up to 1~2 minutes to establish wireless connection after reboot or changing setting.

Setting must follow this format: Network;Security Type;Authentication Method;username[;password]

:Network
Wireless network name.

:Security Type
One of the following value:
802.1X WEP
WPA Enterprise
WPA2 Enterprise

:Authentication Method
One or several of the following value separated by comma:
TTLS
PEAP
TLS
EAP-FAST
LEAP
MD5

:username
User for 802.1X authentication. Username cannot contain \ or ' character

:password
Optional password. You can specify password in this policy, but please notice that password is transferred without encryption. You can also enter password in System Preferences on Mac later. Password cannot contain \ or ' character. Password is required for system profile to work correctly, so a user without password cannot be used for authentication in system profile.


Examples:
OFFICE1;WPA Enterprise;PEAP;user
OFFICE2;802.1X WEP;TTLS,PEAP;user;
OFFICE3;WPA Enterprise;PEAP;user;password


- Automatically turn on AirPort

Check this option to automatically turn on AirPort device if system profile is specified. If this option is not checked, the status of AirPort device will not change.


Once enabled, this policy can take effect dynamically at the next group policy refresh interval.
