Wi-Fi Authentication Mode Changes for WPA3-Enterprise

In ESP-IDF versions prior to v5.4, the authentication mode (wifi_auth_mode_t) for Access Points (APs) supporting WPA3-Enterprise-Only and WPA3-Enterprise-Transition was identified as WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_ENTERPRISE.

Starting from v5.4, this behavior has been updated:

  • APs supporting WPA3-Enterprise-Only mode are now detected with wifi_auth_mode_t set to WIFI_AUTH_WPA3_ENTERPRISE.

  • APs supporting WPA3-Enterprise-Transition mode are detected with wifi_auth_mode_t set to WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_WPA3_ENTERPRISE.

Note

Impact on Applications

If your application strictly checks for WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_ENTERPRISE or WIFI_AUTH_ENTERPRISE to identify enterprise APs, it will not recognize APs operating in WPA3-Enterprise-Only or WPA3-Enterprise-Transition modes.

Recommended Action

To ensure compatibility with these modes, update your application's authentication mode checks to include the new WIFI_AUTH_WPA3_ENTERPRISE and WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_WPA3_ENTERPRISE modes.

This may involve updating conditional statements or authentication procedures to account for WIFI_AUTH_WPA3_ENTERPRISE and WIFI_AUTH_WPA2_WPA3_ENTERPRISE.
