Configure WAP-PSK Complexity
When you configure the VAPs on the WAP device, you can select a method of securely authenticating clients.
If you select the WPA Personal protocol (also known as WPA pre-shared key or WPA-PSK) as the security
method, you can configure the complexity requirements on the WPA-PSK Complexity page to be used in the
authentication process. More complex keys provide increased security.
To configure the WPA-PSK complexity:
Step 1 Select Security >Configure WPA-PSK Complexity.
Step 2 Check Enable to enable the WAP device to check the WPA-PSK keys against the configured criteria. If disabled, none
of the configured settings are used. The WPA-PSK Complexity is disabled by default.
Step 3
Configure these parameters:
• WPA-PSK Minimum Character Class — Choose the minimum number of character classes that must be
represented in the key string. The four possible character classes are uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers,
and special characters available on a standard keyboard. Three is the default.
• WPA-PSK Different from Current — Check Enable to enable users to configure a different key after their
current key expires. If disabled, users can use the old or previous key after their current key expires.
• Maximum WPA-PSK Length — Enter a key length value. The maximum key length in number of characters is
from 32 to 63. The default is 63.
• Minimum WPA-PSK Length — Enter a key length value. The minimum key length in number of characters is
from 8 to 16. The default is 8.
Step 4 Click Save.
