Element Type Description
allowList Specifies the list of wireless LAN networks to which any machine must be allowed to connect.
blockList Specifies the list of wireless LAN networks to which a machine must not connect.
denyAllIBSS boolean Specifies if access to all ad-hoc networks is blocked.
denyAllESS boolean Specifies if access to all infrastructure networks is blocked.

denyAllIBSS

The denyAllIBSS (networkFilter) element specifies if access to all ad-hoc networks is blocked. When denyAllIBSS has a value of TRUE, machines cannot connect to an ad-hoc network; otherwise, machines may connect to ad-hoc networks.

The default value for this element is FALSE. If denyAllIBSS is not specified in a profile, then by default machines may connect to ad-hoc networks.

denyAllESS

The denyAllESS (networkFilter) element specifies if access to all infrastructure networks is blocked. When denyAllESS has a value of TRUE, machines cannot connect to an infrastructure network; otherwise, machines may connect to infrastructure networks.

The default value for this element is FALSE. If denyAllESS is not specified in a profile, then by default machines may connect to infrastructure networks.
