Android - WIFI Configuration OTA using URL

Question

I need to deploy OTA WIFI configuration on Android devices. For example, by deploying an XML file on a Web server accessible by an URL from the mobile. Do you have any idea on how to proceed?

On iOS devices, we just need a configuration provisionning deployed on a server to configure mail, Wifi, certificate, and many others things.

The Android Device Administration API introduced with Android 2.2 doesn't include WIFI management API/feature.

Answer 1

There are third party commercial solutions (search for Clearpass from Aruba or JoinNow from Securew2), but nothing (as for Android 4.2) like the deployment API in the iOS world.
