Change SSID name in Guest Manager Receipt

Requirement:
To use the same Guest manager receipt in different sites for different SSIDs' with a single guest self-registration page.
Solution:
Every guest self-registration page is mapped to a guest manager receipt. The default guest-Manager receipt takes the SSID value from Configuration --> Guest Manager --> Receipt Options --> Site SSID name. Since, we can define only one SSID name in Guest Manager configuration,  it is not possible to use one guest manager receipt for two different SSIDs' (in different sites).
We have to create a new guest-manager receipt and hardcode the guest SSID name for the respective site and link it to a newly created self-registration page.
Configuration:
I. Login to ClearPass Guest. Navigate to Configuration--> Receipts --> Templates. Click on the default GuestManager receipt template and click duplicate. A copy of Guest Manager receipt will be created. Highlight the copy and click on edit.
There are two places where we have to change the guest SSID name in the receipt.
1. WiFi Network Name (at the beginning of the receipt) &
2. Connect to the wireless network (Step: 2 under Guest account and Wi-Fi Instructions). 
1. To change WiFi Network Name, scroll down to the User-Account HTML and search for line that starts with "WiFi Network".
We could see the below default code:
<h3 style="font-family:{$g_email_font_family|escape};font-size:20px;line-height:20px;font-weight:bold;color:#{$g_email_network_text|escape};margin:0;padding:0;">
    WiFi Network: <span style="color:#{$g_email_network_name|escape};">{$site_ssid|escape}</span>
                </h3>
Replace the highlighted text in the above code with the guest SSID name as required. In the below example, I've used the guest SSID name as "Test".
<h3 style="font-family:{$g_email_font_family|escape};font-size:20px;line-height:20px;font-weight:bold;color:#{$g_email_network_text|escape};margin:0;padding:0;">
    WiFi Network: <span style="color:#{$g_email_network_name|escape};">Test</span>
2. To change the SSID name under Guest account and Wi-Fi instructions,  scroll down to the User-Account HTML and search for line that starts with "Connect to the wireless network".
We could see the below default code:
<li{$smarty.capture.li_1}>
    <img src="images/bullet_{counter}.gif" width="26" height="20" style="margin-bottom:-4px;" />Connect to the wireless network: <span style="color:#{$g_email_inst_bold|escape};"><strong><em>{$site_ssid|escape}</em></strong></span>
            </li>
Replace the highlighted text in the above code with the guest SSID name as required. In the below example, I've used the guest SSID name as "Test".
<li{$smarty.capture.li_1}>
    <img src="images/bullet_{counter}.gif" width="26" height="20" style="margin-bottom:-4px;" />Connect to the wireless network: <span style="color:#{$g_email_inst_bold|escape};"><strong>Test</strong></span>
            </li>
After the above change, click 'save changes' at the bottom.
II. a. Navigate to Configuration --> Pages --> Guest self-registration to create a new self registration page. If we plan to use same guest self-registration page, highlight the existing page and click on Duplicate. Select "Same as Original" for Parent radio button so that newly created form fields will be independent of the existing form fields. We can also use "Create a new self-registration form" hyperlink if we do not want to duplicate the existing page.
b. After creating a new self registration page, highlight and click on Edit and click on "Advanced Editor". Navigate to Email delivery section. For the option, 'Email receipt'  choose the newly created guest manager receipt from the drop down.
After the above changes, click 'save changes' at the bottom. 
Verification
1. Configuration --> Guest Manager that shows default value "Aruba" for SSID name under receipt options:
2. Copy of the guest manager receipt template that shows modified SSID name:
3. Duplicate of the default guest self-registration page:
4. Email Delivery section:

The only way I have found to change the device name in Profile Manager is to change it on the device itself, then wait for the updated info to reach PM.
The option to "set the computer name to computer record name" will set the computer name to the name of a computer record that matches in Open Directory (based on MAC). This option would allow you to change the device name in Profile Manager in a round about way... change the computer record name in OD, wait for the change to make it's way to the computer, then back up to the Profile Manager. In my experience, this doesn't take too long.

  • Set or Change Device Name in Profile Manager

    Hello,
    Is it possible to set or change the device name of an enrolled device using profile manager?
    I notice WGMs old 'Set computer name to computer record name' is still there under Login Window options, but I couldn't find away to actually change the record name.
    Am I missing something obvious?

  • Changing Fabric name in Fabric Manager

    How do you change the name of the Fabric in the Logical Domains section of Fabric Manager?

    This is also something I'd be interested in seeing. I've got one fabric named correctly, the other after a switch dump took the name of a middle tier 9216i and won't switch back, despite the fact that I changed the principal priority on the 9509 to 1 and then made it the principal with a disruptive(nondisruptive didn't work either).
    Cisco documentation is woefully inadequate in certain areas....Also, the error of fabric merge failed, "member mismatch" comes to mind.

  • Cannot change short name of computer in Workgroup Manager

    When a computer is bound to Open Directory on the client side I cannot change the short name of the computer. If the computer is added through Workgroup Manager I do not have this problem. When I try to change the name it reverts back to the old name and sometimes adds a .local at the end of it, but the new name I choose is displayed on the left side. When I log out and log back in the name on the left side reverts back to the old name.
    Could it be the way I am naming the computers? I am using dept-username.location as a way to name all computers. Why does this problem only occur on computers that have been bound through the LDAPv3 service on the workstation?

    I can't comment for sure on this one; but my educated guess may be that you're causing problems with your DNS (or DHCP) by specifying an extra dot in the name - Although I can't say for certain as my OD doesn't run my DNS.
    Try using dept-username-location.domain.local instead of dept-username.location.domain.local.
    Have you checked the console output to see if any errors are being returned?

  • Changing Wi-Fi Name & Add Guest

    I'd like to change the name of my Wi-Fi Network, and also add a Guest log in password.
    I believe to change the name that I can do that in AirPort Utility, but how can I add a Guest password.
    Thanks

    Here, I assume that you are asking about a a current or recent version of the AirPort Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express routers.
    Open up AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Click on the AirPort router icon that you want to change
    Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
    Edit the Wireless Network Name box as you wish, keeping the name short, simple, without using special characters (like an apostrophe) and avoiding blank spaces
    Click Update at the lower right of the window and allow a minute for the AirPort router to restart with the new changes
    Not sure what you are asking regarding the Guest Network. Are you saying that you now have a Guest Network enabled and you want to add a password to require guests to connect to the Guest Network......or.......are you saying that you do not have a Guest Network enabled at all at the present time?

  • E2000-Admin user name is changed to SSID name?

    I have manually configured the E2000 and set the admin password. When I was trying to log back in, I could not. I reset and reconfigured and set the password again. I still could not log in using "admin" and the password I set up. I thought I was losing my mind. Just on a hunch, I used the SSID name instead of "admin", then I entered the password - that worked. I am able to login, but I need the username to be admin, not the SSID. Has anyine else had this issue? Any way to change the administrator name back to admin?? Weird.
    Thank you,

    if you want the wireless passphrase and administrator password to be different, you will need to stop using Cisco connect and change the admin password by going to 192.1681.1--->administration--->router password. 
    I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

  • WLC 5508 cannot change SSID

    Hello,
    I have an issue where I cannot get clients to change SSID.  I have two SSID, one WPA2 secure, one open guest.  The secure is locally switched via Flexconnect and the guest is centrally switched.  Both of them work.  I have been able to test this and both work as intended.  The problem is that once you connect to one of them, either secure or guest, you cannot then change to the other.  The only way to change is to delete the dhcp entry from the scope and then do it. 
    Fast SSID change is enabled.  I also have debug client output from when the client fails when you try to switch which I will include below.  I also pulled some wireshark captures and those show me that the DHCP ack packets are trying to give the client the ip address from the incorrect/previous scope.  So basically it's like FAST SSID change is not working and the client is never being disassociated properly??
    I am totally stumped and even though the client will most likely not be switched between SSID that often I would still like to know the solution.

    External windows 2008 dhcp server.  The ip-helper on the L3 interface is working because it will pull dhcp just fine as long as it is the first SSID you connect with.  Once you have the an address from dhcp and try to change it keeps wanting to give me that same address even though my L3 interfaces for the two SSIDs are on two separate vlans each with a separate scope (vlan 31 and vlan 50).  Although each vlan uses the same dhcp server but that does not matter since I have two different scopes setup.  One for each subnet.

    What happens when you try to change the Shuffle's name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes?
    Is your iPod set up to manually manage its contents.  For more information, see your iPod's User Guide.

  • How can I change the name of my home directory?

    When I first set up my Macbook Pro a year ago, I put my first and last name. I didn't like this and later changed the login name to just my first name, but the "home" directory is still listed as my full name on the side panel in Finder windows. How can I change this, it won't let me rename that.

    You should have experienced that same effect when you managed to change you login name. How did you change your login name?
    I imagine that has something to do with why everything 'disappeared' when you changed the directory name.
    It's actually pretty simple to change the login name, and it doesn't affect files at all.
    All I did was change the field labeled "user name".

  • Existing cross Reference: how to change the name of the file it refers to?

    Hi everybody,
    I am a professional translator.
    One client of mine sent me a complete FrameMaker 9 book file for translation.
    I translated the content via a CAT-Tool and now am in the process of checking if cross references and markers are ok directly into the file.
    I noticed that many cross references are linked to another file of the book. But in the process of translating each file separately, I gave them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) so as to be able to recognise them eventually.
    Now I have this problem: I cannot find in the cross reference interface where to change the name of the file into the new one the cross reference is supposed to refer to.
    Am I right in wanting to change the file reference? If so, how do I do that?
    Or is it better to avoid this task and rename the translated file into their original names ? Would it work then?
    Thanks for your help.

    ... book file ...
    ...  each file separately, I gave  them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) ...
    I'm guessing that you renamed the component files by means other than using the Edit > Rename File from the Book menu.
    If so, do over. Rename from the Book menu. It automatically revises all the cross-references in all the component files.
    In a Book, the only thing that's safe to rename with the file manager is the .book file itself.

  • How to change the name of the Mac I connect to in the drop-down window.

    Using my brand new MacBook, in the drop down menu when I connect to my iMac, it shows up as my name ( which is Derek Walton's Computer) ...... How can I change the name that shows up here? I have tried all areas that iI can think of and altered my name on the iMac but to no avail - e.g. - Network Sharing, Account Name, and so on.... anything anywhere I have changed... but it always shows up with my full name. I have however managed to get the name in the sidebar of the Leopard window to read as I want ( Derek's iMac) but that is all.
    Also, when I am using Airport on my MacBook, in the drop-down menu I see also other neighbours connections.... I am wondering therefore does it follow that they can see my wireless connection ( as Derel Waltons Computer)?
    This has been vexing me all night and I am geting very frustrated, but I bet there is a simple answer..... for those that know!
    Thanks in advance for any help you care to put my way.

    It is not a simple issue. Not the same as changing a user account in Preferences. Ttry this link:

  • TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

    have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
