I finally got a chance to do a quick post for ePMP.  See Automating ePMP Password Changes with cnMaestro

could the same script be used to write user account radius settings and change the local user passwords on the AP with the new release of 15.1?


If so do you have a template i can use?

As for the SM's use the AP's radius for the user accounts i would just use the script on the first post on the sm's right?

any information would be great!

Thanks

Indeed, very useful post.

I tried to follow the instructions and push this config template after changing the password of my choice in encrypted form to one of the PMP450i AP and the status shows completed successfully. Later, when I tried to login to the AP, it’s giving error like “too many attempts were made” and I’m unable to login even trying after an hour. Whereas it’s showing healthy/Online in cnMaestroX, PMP450i AP has latest firmware version 25.0. Can you please suggest what am I missing here.

Would you mind posting your template? Please do change or black out the passwords. I’ll use that to test on my AP with release 25.

I used the same configuration you mentioned in the post, just changed with a different encrypted password

{
    "userParameters": {
        "authenticationConfig": {
            "accounts": [
                {
                    "userName": "admin",
                    "level": 3,
                    "readOnly": false,
                    "passwordEncrypted": "used encrypted password"
                },
                {
                    "userName": "root",
                    "level": 3,
                    "password": "${password=newpassword}",
                    "readOnly": false
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "cfgFileString": "Canopy configuration file",
    "cfgFileVersion": "1.0"
}

No changes done, template uploaded successfully, but I couldn’t be able to login to the device with the new password (even I tried with old password, it didn’t work). As I mentioned earlier, firmware version 25 active in PMP450i AP
