Automatic password change for wifi networks

    Hi everyone,
    I need help, it is possible to create an SSID for a specific group in AMP with WPA2 personal encryption, but so that the password to this network is changed automatically, e.g. once a week or a month?

    Thanks in advance for the hints
    regards

    Hi Sir,

    What is the use case you have in mind? Changing the PSK frequently can impact the experience of your clients, some device need to first "forget" the current wlan profile before they accept the new PSK (this behavior differs per client device). Maybe you can move to 802.1x authentication what is more secure.

    For changing the PSK automatically each periode of time you have to script this with API. I don't known which API exactly but you have to figure that out.

    May this helps you


    When open in Chrome the development tools i can see this request when changing the PSK. Maybe it's a starting point for what you like to achieve. I can't find a directly API in the API Guide, only something as a batch configuration.
