Wireless Access

Hi All,

We are having an Aruba 7010 and 650 controllers. Need to know how to change the password of the captive portal guest SSID.

Also is it possible to issue a random password when a guest is required to connect to the 'guest' SSID.

Thank you.

Are you referring to a Pre Shared Key on the SSID or a Guest Account which is used to authenticate via the Captive Portal?

1) You can change the Pre Shared Key via the WLAN SSID Profile. Configuration > All Profiles > Wireless LAN > SSID

2) Or change the password of the User Account (if it is using the localdb). Configuration > Authentication > Servers > Internal DB.

You can offer a random password to a user if the account is manually created. If you wanted self-registration with a random password, you would need to consider Clearpass.

Hi Zalion,

1. Our captive portal SSID name is "guest", so once a user select that SSID he is redirecting to a web interface which is asking a username and a password. I want to change that password.

2.I think the answer for my second question is Guest Provisioning, under configuration.

Thankyou,

Chamila. 

Providing the Internal DB is being used, then the second option will allow you to change this.

Use the Guest Provisioning Account to change the password or do it via the Internal DB method.

Hi Zalion,

Thank you you for your support my problem solved.

Thankyou & regards,

Chamila.
