Wi-Fi settings - remember password

JW

We are using Lockdown with Android Enterprise. We access the Wi-Fi settings using action://CONFIGURE_WIFI

This seems to work well, however we have found that when changing between 2 networks the password is forgotten, so when switching back to the original network the user must re-enter the password. Is there a setting to adjust this or is this just how this works?

Hello Jake, 

Thank you for requesting a response from SOTI Support Staff.  We apologize for any delay in response.

Does the network password get retained when the lockdown is not applied?  Also is the password transmitted in the original configuration?

Please let me know if you still need assistance with this.  

Regards,

Hi,

Its possible to use intent: for call android (native) wifi settings?

I tried with intent:android.provider.settings.Settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS, and so many similar sentences without any success.

action://CONFIGURE_WIFI allways promps for password, even networks are saved.

Best Regards

I think you would need to use Launch and set com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings

More details here https://discussions.soti.net/thread/settings-manager-for-android-enterprise/

but looks like either:

 launch://com.android.settings/com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings

or

    launch://com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
