How to skip MAC address randomization using KSP

Environment

• Knox Platform for Enterprise (KPE)
• Knox Service Plugin (KSP)

Overview

On Android 10 devices and above, Wi-Fi settings can be configured to have the MAC address as “Randomized MAC” or “Phone MAC”. Currently the default setting is “Randomized MAC”. If an IT administrator wishes to configure a device to use “Phone MAC” instead, KSP can be used to control this setting.

How can I disable MAC address randomization using KSP?

Starting in version 1.2.57 of KSP, an IT administrator can change the default Wi-Fi network setting on a device to skip MAC address randomization and use the device’s own MAC address instead.

1. In KSP, go to Device-wide policies > Device Controls > Wi-Fi Policy.

2. Set Enable Wi-Fi policy controls to Enable.

3. Set Allow to configure Wi-Fi (Configure details below) to Enable.

4. Go to Wi-Fi Configurations and add another configuration profile.

5. Enter the Wi-Fi Network Name.

6. Select the Wi-Fi Security Type.

7. Enter the Wi-Fi network Password.

8. Set Skip Mac Randomization to True.

9. Save and publish your changes.
