1. The script will retrieve the WLAN configuration (it can be a SITE Wlan or an ORG Wlan)
2. The script will will generate a new PSK for the WLAN. The PSK strength can be configured.
3. The script will update the WLAN configuration.
4. If configured, the script will send the new PSK to the administrator(s)

1. Just install the dependencies manually or with the requirements.txt file. For example with pîp -r requirements.txt.
2. Then configure the .env file (an example can be found in the example.env file).
3. And to finish start the script with python mist_psk_rotate.py or python3 mist_psk_rotate.py depending on your system

Check the example.env file to know how to configure the script. You will have to create a .env file with the required settings.

By default, the script is looking for the .env file in its own directory. You can also pass the .env file location when running the script with the -e option (i.e. python3 mist_psk_rotate.py -e <path to the env file>).

You can use the -c option to check your configuration.

Any change in the psk_template.html is at your own risks!

If you want to customize the email sent to the users, you can modify the psk_template.html file. It's basicaly a HTML file, but:

• Be sure to use double curly brackets "{{" and "}}" instead of single curly brackets for HTML
• The script will inject 3 information in the template:
  • {0} will be replaced by the logo image location. It must be published on a web server and reachable by the users' devices
  • {1} will be replaced by the SSID name
  • {2} wll be replaced by the PPSK value
  • If QRcode is enabled, {3} wll be replaced by the QRCode information (i.e. "You can also scan the QRCode below to configure your device:")
  • If QRcode is enabled, {4} wll be replaced by the QRCode
