Passphrase, how to change from cnMaestro?

Products cnMaestro
1

Looking at WiFi device configuration in cnMaestro, we can find the the passphrase is encrypted, for example:

wireless wlan 1

ssid abc123 

no shutdown

vlan 1

security wpa2-psk

passphrase $crypt$1$RKPUqkhp24t2G7adO/nBmL4/nsMTddsm

How to edit the passphrase, then write it to the template to download it later to managed cnPilot?

The passphrase will be encrypted by the access point, in the template you can enter it as clear-text.

So "passphrase my-test-passphrase" is ok for the template file.

After this config is pushed to the device, if you then view device config again, it will show up encrypted (with a "$crypt$" prefix, which indicates this is an encrypted passphrase)

Is it any way to recover the forgotten passphrase without resetting ePilot to factory defaults? Or, to decrypt the string after passphrase $crypt$ ?

Can you also add clear-text passwords for cnPilot R-series using configuration templates in cnMaestro?

@aerojean, yes you should be able to apply clear-text passwords for cnPilot R-series using configuration templates. As firefly mentioned “passphrase my-test-passphrase” should be OK to send in a configuration template.
