I exported a wireless network connection profile from a Windows 7 machine correctly connected to a WiFi network with a WPA-TKIP passphrase. The exported xml file shows the correct
settings and a keyMaterial node which I can only guess is the encrypted passphrase.
When I take the xml to another Windows 7 computer and import it using netsh wlan add profile filename="WiFi.xml", it correctly adds the profile's SSID and encryption type, but a balloon pops up saying that I need to enter the passphrase.
Is there a way to import the passphrase along with all other
settings or am I missing something about adding profiles?
Here is the exported xml with personal information removed:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<WLANProfile xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WLAN/profile/v1">
<name>[removed]</name>
<SSIDConfig>
<SSID>
<hex>[removed]</hex>
<name>[removed]</name>
</SSID>
<nonBroadcast>false</nonBroadcast>
</SSIDConfig>
<connectionType>ESS</connectionType>
<connectionMode>auto</connectionMode>
<autoSwitch>false</autoSwitch>
<MSM>
<security>
<authEncryption>
<authentication>WPAPSK</authentication>
<encryption>TKIP</encryption>
<useOneX>false</useOneX>
</authEncryption>
<sharedKey>
<keyType>passPhrase</keyType>
<protected>true</protected>
<keyMaterial>[removed]</keyMaterial>
</sharedKey>
</security>
</MSM>
</WLANProfile>
Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks.
