Importing Private Psk Users - Black Box SmartPath LWN602A User Manual

VLAN ID: 1
If you leave this field empty, the SmartPath AP applies the VLAN ID set in the Employees(30) user profile, which is already set
as 1. If you set a different VLAN ID here than the one in the user profile, this setting takes precedence over the one in user
profile.
Reauthorization Time: 1800 (default)
This setting is only used when private PSK user accounts are stored on a RADIUS server and a reauthorization interval is not set
on the server for those users. If user accounts are stored on a RADIUS server that returns a reauthorization interval attribute, the
SmartPath APs use that value instead of this one. If user accounts are stored locally on SmartPath APs, the SmartPath APs
ignore this setting.
To create a private PSK user group for contractors, click Configuration > Advanced Configuration > Authentication > Local User
Groups > New, enter the following, and then click Save:
User Group Name: Contractors(35)
Description: Contractors at corp
User Type: Manually created private PSK users
User Profile Attribute: 35
VLAN ID: 1
Reauthorization Time: 1800 (default)
NOTE: If you want to define advanced options, click + to expand the Private PSK Advanced Options section. You can modify the
characteristics of keys that SmartPath EMS VMA generates, such as their length, the types of characters used in them, the
method of their generation, and the period of time during which they are valid. This example uses the default settings, one
of which is the requirement that the password in the imported .csv file must contain letters, digits, and special characters.
This requirement has significance in Section 9.4.4.

9.4.5 Importing Private PSK Users

Create a list of private PSK users in a .csv file, assign them to the two private PSK user groups Employees(30) and Contractors(35),
and import the file to SmartPath EMS VMA.
1. Define a set of private PSK users in a CSV-formatted file, and save it to your management system. The left-to-right order of
columns in file must be as follows:
User Name, User Type (3), User Group Name, Password, Email, Description, Virtual SmartPath EMS VMA Name
The value 3 indicates that the user type is a manually defined private PSK user. When using the default settings, the password
must contain letters, digits, and special characters.* Multiple e-mail addresses (up to 128 characters total) must be separated by
semicolons without spaces before or after the semicolons. The text in the Description column is included in the e-mail sent to
users, so you use it to identify the SSID. The last column is only required if there is at least one virtual SmartPath EMS VMA sys-
tem and you are logged in to "All VSPMs" as an admin with superuser privileges. Otherwise, omit it.
* If you do not include a password string in the imported file, SmartPath EMS VMA automatically generates a random string dur-
ing the import process. For example, if the first entry omits the password, it would be as follows (note the empty space between
the commas): Bob Lai, 3, Employees(30), , hm-admin@apis.com;blai@apis.com, Use SSID star, home
The following is a sample of a few private PSK user definitions:
#User Name, User Type 3, User Group Name, Password, Email, Description, VHM
Bob Lai, 3, Employees(30), hon;VP#243, hm-admin@apis.com;blai@apis.com, Use SSID star, home
Jenny Lo, 3, Employees(30), loN#953d:)n, hm-admin@apis.com;jlo@apis.com, Use SSID star, home
Phil Wei, 3, Contractors(35), meX18ca1#!, hm-admin@apis.com;mgr@apis.com, Use SSID star, home
