9.2 Limitations

The current implementation of the HTTP Provisioning has the following limitations:

• The ATWINC15x0 AP limitations are applicable to the Provisioning mode. For a list of AP mode limitations, refer to Limitations.
• Provisioning uses AP mode with open security. No Wi-Fi security nor application level security (for example, TLS) is used; therefore, the AP credentials entered by the user are sent on the clear and can be seen by eavesdroppers.
• The WINC Provisioning home page is a static HTML page. No server-side scripting allowed in the WINC HTTP server.
• Only APs with WPA-personal security (passphrase based) and no security (Open network) can be provisioned. WEP and WPA-Enterprise APs cannot be provisioned.
• The Provisioning is responsible to deliver the connection parameters to the application, the connection procedure and the connection parameters validity are the application's responsibility.
