WlanSetProfileEapUserData function (wlanapi.h)
The WlanSetProfileEapUserData function sets the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) user credentials as specified by raw EAP data. The user credentials apply to a profile on an interface.
Syntax
DWORD WlanSetProfileEapUserData(
[in] HANDLE hClientHandle,
[in] const GUID *pInterfaceGuid,
[in] LPCWSTR strProfileName,
[in] EAP_METHOD_TYPE eapType,
[in] DWORD dwFlags,
[in] DWORD dwEapUserDataSize,
[in] const LPBYTE pbEapUserData,
PVOID pReserved
);
Parameters
[in] hClientHandle
The client's session handle, obtained by a previous call to the WlanOpenHandle function.
[in] pInterfaceGuid
The GUID of the interface.
[in] strProfileName
The name of the profile associated with the EAP user data. Profile names are case-sensitive. This string must be NULL-terminated.
[in] eapType
An EAP_METHOD_TYPE structure that contains the method for which the caller is supplying EAP user credentials.
[in] dwFlags
A set of flags that modify the behavior of the function.
On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, this parameter is reserved and should be set to zero.
On Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later, this parameter can be one of the following values.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
|
Set EAP host data for all users of this profile. |
[in] dwEapUserDataSize
The size, in bytes, of the data pointed to by pbEapUserData.
[in] pbEapUserData
A pointer to the raw EAP data used to set the user credentials.
On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, this parameter must not be NULL.
On Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later, this parameter can be set to NULL to delete the stored credentials for this profile if the dwFlags parameter contains WLAN_SET_EAPHOST_DATA_ALL_USERS and the dwEapUserDataSize parameter is 0.
pReserved
Reserved for future use. Must be set to NULL.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.
If the function fails, the return value may be one of the following return codes.
Return code | Description |
---|---|
|
Access is denied. This value is returned if the caller does not have write access to the profile. |
|
A parameter is incorrect. This value is returned if any of the following conditions occur:
On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, this value is returned if the pbEapUserData parameter is NULL. On Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 , and later, this error is returned if the pbEapUserData parameter is NULL, but the dwEapUserDataSize parameter is not 0 or the dwFlags parameter does not contain WLAN_SET_EAPHOST_DATA_ALL_USERS. |
|
A handle is invalid. This error is returned if the handle hClientHandle was not found in the handle table. |
|
Not enough storage is available to process this command. |
|
The request is not supported.
This value is returned when profile settings do not permit storage of user data. This can occur when single signon (SSO) is enabled or when the request was to delete the stored credentials for this profile (the pbEapUserData parameter was NULL, the dwFlags parameter contains WLAN_SET_EAPHOST_DATA_ALL_USERS, and the dwEapUserDataSize parameter is 0). On Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 , and later, this value is returned if the WlanSetProfileEapUserData function was called on a profile that uses a method other than 802.1X for authentication. This value is also returned if this function was called from a Windows XP with SP3 or Wireless LAN API for Windows XP with SP2 client. |
|
The service has not been started. This value is returned if the Wireless LAN service is not running. |
|
Various error codes. |
Remarks
The WlanSetProfileEapUserData function sets the EAP user credentials to use on a profile. On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, these credentials can only be used by the caller.
The eapType parameter is an EAP_METHOD_TYPE structure that contains type, identification, and author information about an EAP method. The eapType member of the EAP_METHOD_TYPE structure is an EAP_TYPE structure that contains the type and vendor identification information for an EAP method.
For more information on the allocation of EAP method types, see section 6.2 of RFC 3748 published by the IETF.
On Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later, the WlanSetProfileEapUserData function is enhanced. EAP user credentials can be set for all users of a profile if the dwFlags parameter contains WLAN_SET_EAPHOST_DATA_ALL_USERS. The EAP user credentials on a profile can also be deleted. To delete the EAP user credentials on a profile, the pbEapUserData parameter must be NULL, the dwFlags parameter must equal WLAN_SET_EAPHOST_DATA_ALL_USERS, and the dwEapUserDataSize parameter must be 0.
All wireless LAN functions require an interface GUID for the wireless interface when performing profile operations. When a wireless interface is removed, its state is cleared from Wireless LAN Service (WLANSVC) and no profile operations are possible.
The WlanSetProfileEapUserData function can fail with ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER if the wireless interface specified in the pInterfaceGuid parameter has been removed from the system (a USB wireless adapter that has been removed, for example).
