It is very convenient to set up a public SSID for every users to access with the same passwords. For example, by this way students could have WiFi connection everywhere in the campus without input password again. But students could share password to visitors or who already graduated from school or leave for the summer. In multi-tenant apartment complex, or corporation, tenants move out, other tenants move in, employees quit, and new workers are hired. Which could lead to the problems:
Risk of using the same password
Network access rights may pose security concerns
You could establish unique passwords for each user, but the task is too labor-intensive to be practical.
MyPSK Solution
MyPSK is a private pre-shared keys function that automatically assigns a personalized password to each client on a network (SSID). Everyone gets a unique password for their own personal use. With MyPSK, you can create up to 500 unique passwords for each SSID. If you have more than 500 users, you can create another SSID to handle the next set of users up to 1,000, and so on.
MyPSK allows you to create up to 500 pre-shared keys (PSKs) for groups of users who you can then assign to any one of several VLANs (virtual networks), which will further allow them access to a specific set of resources like printers, databases, and collaboration groups.
MyPSK features:
Assign users with different PSK. Can also set expired date and limit MAC address for connection
Assign user groups connecting to a SSID with different VLAN of network access rights to secure and allocate network resources.
Configuration Steps:
Go to Configure > Access Point > SSID, and select a SSID at its Wireless > Security Type to enable MyPSK.
Go to Configure > Users, and select MyPSK Users. Click Add User to set VLAN, Allowed MAC, Expired Date, etc.
Note:
MyPSK function needs Pro License
MyPSK doesn't support captive portal or when AP is running in NAT mode.
