Hello,

Currently AOS 8.13.1.1

MCR+standby MCR

Active cluster and failover cluster

We have a number of PSK wireless SSIDs. Currently for one of these we use a Python script to change the password weekly, and distribute the new PSK via Teams. This works fine (though naturally we want to completely move away from PSK SSIDs eventually). But we may want to increase the number of SSIDs that we enforce regular password changes on in the medium future.

Will we be able to do the same in new Central - use the API to change the PSKs via a Python script? We are in the very early stages of preparing for our move to AOS 10 but I want to try to be ahead of the game in terms of what we can replicate when we do make the move (summer 2026, but realistically may be later than that).

Thank you,

Guy

Hi Guy,

Yes, i will be possible ! do you are using old or new Central ? you can look swagger APi on https://developer.arubanetworks.com/new-central-config/reference/getsites

Hi @GG-62df62! Yes as mentioned you'll want to use the PATCH method on the /wlan-ssids/{ssid} endpoint

We have an example workflow on our Central Python Workflows repository where a portion of the script updates an existing SSID password, this needs to be updated though to use the Profiles class and not the Wlan class : https://github.com/aruba/central-python-workflows/tree/v2(pre-release)/wpa3-psk-overlay

Finally I believe the structure you'll want to provide is so:

{
    "personal-security": {
        "passphrase-format": "STRING",
        "wpa-passphrase": "thisisthenewpassword"
    }
}

Thanks this looks useful. 

When you say that the class will change from WLAN, does this mean the API URL will change too?

{    "personal-security": {        "passphrase-format": "STRING",        "wpa-passphrase": "thisisthenewpassword"    }}
