Central - Change RADIUS Shared Key

  • 1.  Central - Change RADIUS Shared Key

    Posted Feb 11, 2020 04:30 AM

    Hi everyone, 

     

    Environment: 6 nodes AP-315 with 8.3.0.11_73691 configured in Central.

     

    I'm trying to change Shared Key for RADIUS Authentication (Windows Server 2012 R2 NPS) without success.

    I tried to simply change the key in RADIUS configuration and also to create a new authentication server (same IP and different key) but APs continue to use the old Shared Key.

    Am I forced to recreate all the WLANs that use this RADIUS sever?

     

    Thanks in advance

    Have you attempted to delete the clients sessions via the AP in order to force re-authentication and not used any cached info?

     

    disconnect-user {<addr>|all|mac <mac>| network <name>}

    Hi Craig,

     

    onestly not, I followed these steps:

     

    1. Took a device (smartphone), cleared the WLAN configuration and shutted down wifi.

    2. Checked on Central that all the APs had updated the configuration

    3. Rebooted all the APs

    4. Reconfigured the device.

     

    If is necessary to disconnect all clients, tomorrow evening I try your advice, could I disconnect the sessions also via Central?


    Thanks

    I don't believe it is possible to bulk disconnect clients from Central, it
    would need to be done on a per client basis.

    Sorry Craig,

     

    power off all the Access Point at the same time from PoE could be the same as disconnect all clients?

    Yes, however the CLI option is faster.
