execute, in a case where the received communication parameters include both a Connector for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with the DPP and first information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with a protocol different from the DPP, connection processing according to the DPP using the Connector before executing connection processing according to the protocol different from the DPP using the information; and
execute the connection processing according to the protocol different from the DPP using the information in a case where the connection processing using the Connector is not successful.
7. The communication apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with the protocol different from the DPP is a pre-shared key (PSK) or a passphrase for performing connection processing based on Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or IEEE802.11.
8. The communication apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the wireless network that is connectable by the Connector and a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the wireless network that is connectable by the information are identical.
9. The communication apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the communication apparatus to:
display an image,
wherein in a case where an authentication of another communication apparatus based on authentication information obtained from the displayed image is successful, the communication parameters including both the Connector and the information are received from the other communication apparatus.
10. The communication apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the displayed image is an image illustrating a QR code.
11. A control method for a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:
a first holding step of holding a Connector for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with device provisioning protocol (DPP);
a second holding step of holding information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with a protocol different from the DPP; and
a provision step of providing, in accordance with the DPP, another communication apparatus with communication parameters including both the Connector and the information.
12. A control method for a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:
