2.2 Message Syntax

The Wireless/Wired Group Policy MUST be read from and written to the generic data store using LDAP [RFC2251].

The administrative-side plug-in and the client-side plug-in for the Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol MUST interact with the generic data store as described in sections 1.3.1 and 1.3.2, respectively.

The following class names are used while constructing various LDAP messages:

  • BLOB-based wireless Group Policy is stored as an Active Directory object that MUST be an instance of class msieee80211-Policy.

  • BLOB-based wired Group Policy is not supported.

  • XML-based wireless Group Policy is stored as an Active Directory object that MUST be an instance of class ms-net-ieee-80211-GroupPolicy.

  • XML-based wired Group Policy is stored as an Active Directory object that MUST be an instance of class ms-net-ieee-8023-GroupPolicy.
