Wireless Access

Hello, I have an SSID in my environment that I would like to change the password.  They guides I've seen so far say to change the SSID password in the Virtual AP section, I can see that it's using an SSID profile which I can also view under SSID Profiles in "All Profiles".   I'm curious if I should change it under the SSID profile or under the Virtual AP section, is it both the same and will update all Virtual APs that use this SSID?

From what I can  see this SSID profile might be used in multiple Virtual AP profiles, I'm still trying to understand how it works.

I'm using Aruba 6.5.

Thanks!

you can change it at either of places.

Your question was answered but wanted to follow up to say that yes the SSID profile is referenced by one or more Virtual AP profiles. So changing it in either location would affect any VAP that uses that SSID profile.
