Feature Request: Disable Rotating Wifi Address option in Network Payload of Config Profiles

Note: macOS Sequoia Beta topic here, but with the OS right around the corner I figured it is a good time to make a feature request prior to its release.

Two of our engineers have been testing Sequoia in our environment in prep for the upcoming release. Everything seemed to be going smoothly for weeks until we tried to connect to our network on campus (both of us are telecommuters) while attending a team meeting. Upon connection attempt to our wireless network we get caught in a cycle of unable to verify our user certificates (required to connect to our network)

We've found that this is due to the new feature in Sequoia called “Rotate Wifi Address” which randomizes the Mac Address of the system upon connecting to wifi. This is a per-network setting that can be manually toggled off.

It appears ISE isn’t able to link our MacBooks to a hardware profile with this enabled, which may be causing it to deny the connection. I've scoured and have been unable to find any other call outs of this change / ways to resolve this remotely currently.

Feature Request: Going into Sequoia's release, it would be great if Jamf could adjust the Network payload options in Config Profiles to be able to toggle on/off this feature.

See the following article for more info on the feature:

If you do not participate in the Jamf Pro Beta program, I would suggest you take a look at the latest beta (11.9)

would there be a way to have it turned off in jamf?
