Wireless Access

I seem to have stumbled on a "idocracy" in Aruba Central. I have a Group with about 400 APs using the Group config for everything except the AP-name.

We are now planning to enable and run 802.1x PEAP (AP1X PEAP) on the AP uplink to improve security in out wired network.

I cannot find a way to bulk create the PEAP account to use for AP authentication on all 400 APs as a group setting.

Since I know its a pre-env variable like the AP-name, I would expect I could mark all APs, and click edit. But that does not give me any options for settings the PEAP user.

Can it really be true I have to edit ALL APs individually to setup that account?? It will take ages.....

If you want to accomplish that task through the current Central UI, yes, that's what is required.  Other option is to edit using API.

https://central.wifidownunder.com/workflow-csv.html has a workflow available for accomplishing this task.
