Child Elements

Child Element	Description
BasicAuth	Contains the user name and password required for WISPr authentication. Using BasicAuth allows a static set of credentials to be used; use ExtAuth to have an app generate credentials for WISPr authentication.
ExtAuth	Contains the parameters for handling WISPr authentication through an app (rather than specifying a static user name and password via BasicAuth ).
SSIDConfig	Contains a set of additional SSIDs that are handled by this profile to reduce the number of SSIDs in the WLAN profile store. Windows will not connect to these SSIDs until a user manually connects once. The newly-created profile will inherit the HotspotAuth settings from this profile.
TrustedDomains	Contains a set of one or more host names that are trusted for providing credentials over HTTPS. Can be either a fully qualified name (such as hotspot.contoso.com) or a wildcard to refer to all hosts under the given domain name (such as .contoso.com).
UserAgent	Customized HTTP user agent string to support operator-specific user agent filtering. This element is optional.
