Supported Wi-Fi Configurations

ArborXR offers Wi-Fi configuration functionality where users can create and configure a library of Wi-Fi networks, then remotely deploy configurations to devices to remotely connect them to new networks. Below are details on the supported security types, certificates, and proxies.

Security 

• Open 
  • Open (Unsecured)
    • This type has no further settings.
  • OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption)
    • Only supported by devices that run Android 10 (or later) and are certified as "Wi-Fi Certified Enhanced Open".
    • This type has no further settings.

            • Identity: String
            • Password: String
          • GTC (Generic Token Card)
            • Identity: String
            • Password: String
        • CA Certificate: X.509 certificate (see below section for details)
          • OCSP stapling: See below section for details.
          • Domain: String
        • Anonymous Identity: String
      • TLS (Transport Layer Security)
        • (Optional) User Certificate: X.509 certificate (see below section for details)
        • CA Certificate: X.509 certificate (see below section for details)
          • OCSP stapling: See below section for details.
          • Domain: String
        • Identity: String
      • TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Security)
        • Phase2 Method, one of:
          • PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
          • MSCHAP (Microsoft's Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 1)
          • MSCHAPv2 (Microsoft's Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2)
          • GTC (Generic Token Card)
        • CA Certificate: X.509 certificate (see below section for details)
          • OCSP stapling: See below section for details.
          • Domain: String
        • Identity: String
        • Anonymous Identity: String
        • Password: String
      • PWD (Password)
        • Identity: String
        • Password: String
  • WPA3-Enterprise
    • Only supported by devices that run Android 10 (or later) and specifically advertise support for this.
    • Technical name is EAP Suite-B.
    • Settings: Except for more supported authentication methods, this is the same as EAP-TLS. However, the user certificate is required.

Certificates

Some of the enterprise WPA3 (i.e. EAP) methods require the use of (CA or user) certificates.

Certificates must be an X.509 certificate in Base64-encoded DER format (i.e. PEM) representation of a certificate without header, footer and line breaks. More information can be found in RFC 7468.

Instead of specifying a CA certificate, the device's system certificates can be used.

OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) Stapling

Some of the enterprise WPA3 (i.e. EAP) methods require the use of a CA certificate, and thus require setting whether (and how) to check the revocation status of the certificate.

• Only supported by devices that run Android 11 (or later). This setting is ignored on devices running earlier version of Android.
• Formally known as the "TLS Certificate Status Request" extension.
• Enum, one of:
  • None (Don't staple)
  • Request Status (Try to staple, but don't require a response)
  • Require Status (Require a valid response)
  • Require All non-trusted status (Require a valid response for all non-trusted certificates in the server certificate chain)

Proxy

Only supported by devices that run Android 8.0 (or later). 

• Static
  • Host name: String
  • Port number: Integer from 0 to 65535
  • (Optional) List of hosts to bypass: String list
    • Can include wildcards, e.g. *.example.com, *.google.com
• PAC (Proxy Auto-Config)
  • URL that points to a "PAC file": The file contains a JavaScript function FindProxyForURL(url, host) to dynamically decide whether to connect via a particular proxy server, or directly
