NAME

iwd.ap - Configuration of IWD access points

NAME

iwd.ap - Access point provisioning files

SYNOPSIS

Description of access point provisioning files.

DESCRIPTION

An access point provisioning file defines the configuration of an IWD access point. These files live in $STATE_DIRECTORY/ap (/var/lib/iwd/ap by default). They are read when the net.connman.iwd.AccessPoint.StartProfile(ssid) DBus method is used.

FILE FORMAT

See iwd.network for details on the settings file syntax.

SETTINGS

The settings are split into several categories. Each category has a group associated with it and is described in the corresponding table below.

General Settings

The group [General] contains general AP configuration.

Network Authentication Settings

The group [Security] contains settings for Wi-Fi security and authentication configuration.

IPv4 Network Configuration

The group [IPv4] contains settings for IWD's built-in DHCP server. All settings are optional. They're used if network configuration was enabled as described in iwd.config(5). Omitting the [IPv4] group disables network configuration for this access point so if an all-defaults DHCP setup is desired, the group header line must still be present:

# Enable network configuration
[IPv4]

[other groups follow]

Wi-Fi Simple Configuration

The group [WSC] fine-tunes some Wi-Fi Simple Configuration local parameters (formerly known as WPS, Wi-Fi Protected Setup.)
