WiFi Framework C++ Edition

◆ GetOpenAuth()

bool GetOpenAuth ( ) const

Gets the Open Network flag.

Returns
A flag that turns Open Network mode on or off.

This property is used only if Legacy mode set to True. If the Legacy is False the value of the property will not be used.

Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile can be configured to allow embedded mode, which allows a device to run a single app. If embedded mode is configured, the pass phrase can be empty to support Open/None Authentication.

Instead of settings the Passphrase property to an empty string an application must set OpenAuth property to True to turn Open Authentication On. Or set the OpenAuth to False to switch to common authentication mode.

If the Advertiser is running setting the property does nothing and new value will be ignored. Reading the property returns current value used by the Advertiser.

Not all WiFi adapters may support this feature on Windows.
