Wi-Fi WPA-Personal Profile Sample (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
This sample profile uses a pre-shared key for network authentication. The key is shared with the client and the access point. This sample profile is configured to use Wi-Fi Protected Access security running in Personal mode (WPA-Personal). Encryption uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).

If you use this sample profile to connect to a network, you must have a sharedKey child element added to the security element immediately following the authEncryption element.
The following code example shows a sharedKey element that contains a non-encrypted key. You must replace the comment <!-- insert key here --> with the actual non-encrypted key before you use this code example in a profile.
<sharedKey>
<keyType>passPhrase</keyType>
<protected>false</protected>
<keyMaterial> <!-- insert key here --> </keyMaterial>
</sharedKey>
