Ah I see, I was afraid of that, I'm not a hero with PowerShell and the find and replace did not work as good.
I hoped there was another API, that was just as easy as the /configuration/v2/wlan
Anyways, thank you for you reply.

I see the same; but was able to make it work with the full_config API:
Get the current full configuration: GET /configuration/full_wlan/{group_name_or_guid_or_serial_number}/{wlan_name}
Replace:
\"wpa_passphrase\": \"**************\",
by:
\"wpa_passphrase\": \"my-new-secret-password\", \"wpa_passphrase_changed\": true,
Upload the full config again via PUT /configuration/full_wlan/{group_name_or_guid_or_serial_number}/{wlan_name}
In code, you may replace('************",','my-new-secret-password\", \"wpa_passphrase_changed\": true,').

Hi Herman,
I thought the same, but unfortunately I receive the following error:
"description": "Key Management wpa2-psk-aes is not allowed for 6GHz radio, only enhanced-open,wpa3-sae-aes,wpa3-cnsa,wpa3-aes-ccm-128,wpa3-aes-gcm-256 support ", "error_code": "0001", "service_name": "Configuration"
I'm PUTing the following body:
"wlan" = @{ "essid" = $ssidName "type" = "employee" "wpa_passphrase" = $newPassword "wpa_passphrase_changed" = $true "access_rules" = @( @{ "action" = "allow" "eport" = "any" "ipaddr" = "any" "match" = "match" "protocol" = "any" "service_name" = "" "service_type" = "network" "sport" = "any" "throttle_downstream" = "" "throttle_upstream" = "" } ) }
As you can see, the WLAN was already set on wpa3-sae-aes

AFAIK, the WPA3 PSK is stored in the same attribute wpa_passphrase:
"wpa_passphrase": "1234567890", "wpa_passphrase_changed": true,
Just the opmode is different (wpa3-aes-sae).
So if you can change the passphrase on WPA2-PSK, it should be the same for WPA3-AES-SAE.

Hi all,
I have currently a Powershell script that changes the WPA2-Personal password for a certain WLAN, all working fine.
Now I want to enable 6GHz on that WLAN but I would need to use WPA3-Personal, no problem.
The only issue is, the current API I use only supports WPA2. (/configuration/v2/wlan/{group_name_or_guid_or_serial_number}/{wlan_name}).
In the swagger in Aruba Central I can't find a API that allows to change the WPA3 password.
The only thing I could find was /configuration/full_wlan/{group_name_or_guid_or_serial_number}/{wlan_name}
But the issue with that API is that it has a single value of the full configuration.
Is there another API that I missed or am I just out of luck?
Kind regards,
Mitchel
