Move WPA-PSK between controllers

The customer lost the PSK but kept it in production. Now they installed a new controller and need to add the PSK in the new WLC.
Seems to still be problem to use template and PSK in WCS (old bug). The key seems to be corrupt in the new WLC.
Is there any way to see the key in clear text or move a crypt key in the CLI?
Or do the customer have to change key?
WLC 1 = 4404 4.2
WLC 2 = 5508 6.0
WCS   = 6.0
Anyone that have a nice solution?
Kind Regards,
Johan

Customer don't have much choice since they have many AP in 1000-series, so they have to run diffrent codes.
I think it's a bit silly that the admin/root user can't see any password or keys. In most other system, like ACS, there are some way see this in clear text.
Well, I tell the customer that they have to change the PSK.

  • Leopard problem connecting with wifi AP using WPA PSK instead of WEP

    I cannot connect via Airport to Speedtouch 580i accesspoint using WPA PSK.
    WEP works just fine, but using WPA PSK I keep getting the message invalid password and then cannot connect wirelessly.
    Tiger as of version 10.4.3 through .11 worked flawlessly via WPA PSK with the same AP.
    I installed 10.5.4 Leopard from scratch and used combo 10.5.5 and and a few days ago combo update 10.5.6 but problem remain.
    After the clean install I used migration assistent to get user data and logins from Tiger into Leopard, having used an image made with SuperDuper.
    I have read many support forums and suggestions, it all didn't result in a working internet connection at all with WPA PSK :-...(
    What I did until now:
    - Disabled IPv6 for the airport interface
    - Changed to a simple WPA PSK password without CAPITALS instead of something like #A!$($D$%\T@q{|
    - Changed to a fixed channel in the wireless accesspoint instead of auto. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195706
    - Rebooted Accesspoint various times.
    - Changed to 802.11g only instead of b+g
    - Tried both TKIP and AES as encryption type
    - Disabled and re-enabled Firewall in Leopard
    - Changed to fixed ip adress instead of via DHCP for network addres assignment
    - Tried connecting with and without broadcast of SSID to AP.
    - Repaired keychain , http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5858982
    - Did various keychain changes incl deleting old values
    - Deleted some items from library, as per suggestions from forums.
    In the end I have a suspicion that it all drills down to something simple, quotes (" ") are used to present the password in the password field, at least this is the case with WEP, but this does not harm the functionality for WEP as this is working alright.
    With the current WPA PSK implementation it perhaps does influence, because it keeps saying invalid password. I have tested both with and without quotes and things did not improve at all.
    I'm running out of ideas to solve this matter, therefore I have sent a report to Apple via their Feedback webpage.
    While having using 10.5.5 fo a while I had big hopes 10.5.6 would cure the problem , unfortunately this is not the case.
    Please provide more suggestions to solve this problem.

    Checked Accesspoint firmware upgrade. The only difference between the current 4.2.7.25 and the latest version, 4.2.7.30 is the support of WDS i.e. expanding the wireless network by connecting 2 APs together (via WEP).
    Still tried upgrading via the MAC OS X update software, it did not fire up, I think the software is not fond of Leopards
    As WEP works ok with Leopard on my G4 Powerbook 12inch, I didn't want to focus further on the speedtouch because of the motto 'if it ain't broke don't fix it.'
    Am going to research more on Keychain and DHCP, others are reporting issues with it along with this 'airport crisis' http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=375838

  • Apple TV update doesn't like WPA-PSK

    Got an Apple TV for Christmas and after running the update it will no longer connect to the Internet wirelessly. It gets an IP address and is on my local area network but does not connect to the Internet. If I disable WPA – PSK security on my router ATV works fine. It will also connect to a mobile hotspot. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what are you doing about it? I see lots of posts where the update ruined wireless connectivity completely but my problem seems to be with WPA PSK. Everything worked great prior to the update which I finally went ahead and did because of the annoying update message that kept popping up. Now I wish I hadn't done it. As far as troubleshooting goes I have connected ATV to iTunes  and restored but that just puts the latest version back on it and I'm still in the same boat. I'm debating whether to drive over an hour to the Apple Store and try to exchange it or just wait on an update. If I wait on another update and the problem still isn't resolved then I have no warranty. The issue seems to be with the update not the unit itself.

    I just posted this a few minutes ago with a similar problem.
    How do you view tv or movie playlists created in iTunes on Apple TV?
    You said you just updated your Apple TV so I assume that you have a 3rd generation Apple TV?  I have a 2nd generation Apple TV but I never have created a tv or movie playlist so I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong.  It's starting to sound more like an iTunes glitch.

  • WPA-PSK w/ TKIP & WDS

    Is it possible to have a small number of standalone (no controller) AP's run WPA-PSK with TKIP and use one AP for WDS to enable fast roaming, but without having to have any kind of local or server based authentication ? I don't want to have to define logins for each user, I just want to use a single pre-shared key and need them to be able to roam seamlessly between APs.

    I understand that you want to implement layer 2 fast secure roaming without using a dot1x authentication. If this is correct, then I think you can do the configuration you have mentioned. But, for sure, fats secure roaming, th client and the Ap shuld support CCKM.

    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???  

    If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • Can't Connect To WPA-PSK/AES

    I've read through dozens of posts here and on other sites, but still can't figure this out.
    At home, I have a D-Link DI-634M wireless router. We have two laptops (Toshiba and IBM) that connect to it just fine, but I can't get my new iPhone 3G to connect. The Wireless Settings page on the router looks like this:
    SSID: SomethingLikeThis
    Channel: Auto Channel Select enabled
    Super G Mode: Disabled
    Transmission Rate: Auto
    802.11g Only Mode: Disabled
    SSID Broadcast: Disabled
    Security Mode: WPA-PSK
    WPA Mode: WPA
    Cipher Type: AES
    Passphrase: Looks something like this sentence, for a total of 63 characters.
    When I try to add the network to my iPhone, I get the error that it can't connect. But, in the network settings, it will now show the SSID, with the encryption icon and the signal strength meter. I select it, get prompted for the password again, but still can't connect.
    Just checked the logs on the router, and I can see an INFO message that says "Wireless system with MAC address nnnnnnnnnnnnn associated", showing the MAC address of my iPhone. I don't see anything after that to indicate any error with that device.
    I upgraded the firmware in the router to the latest release (Feb/2008). I've tried changing the Cipher Type from AES to TKIP, and even "TKIP and AES".
    What am I missing here?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, forgot to mention that when I turn off encryption it works fine. But, even though I don't broadcast my SSID, I'd never run a wireless router without at least some basic encryption. Just tried changing the password to not have spaces, and now it works fine. That's strange, since I didn't have any problems with any other wireless devices connecting when the password did have spaces.
    Thanks a million!!!!

  • What is the Best way to move large mailboxes between datacenters?

    What is the Best way to move large mailboxes between datacenters?

    Hi, 
     Are you asking with regards to on-premises Exchange? With Microsoft Online SaaS services (aka Exchange Online) there is no control and no need to control which data center a mailbox resides in.
     With regard to on-premises Exchange, you have two choices: you can move it over the WAN in which case you would either do a native mailbox move (assuming you have Exchange 2010 or later you can suspend the move after the copy so you can control the
    time of the cutover) or create a database copy in the second data center and once the database copies have synchronized change the active copy.
    The other choice is to move is out of band which would usually involve an offline seed of the database (you could conceivably move via PST file but that would disrupt access to the mailbox and is not really the 'best way').
    In general, Exchange on-premises questions are best asked on the Exchange forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
    Thanks,

  • 5800 XM WPA-PSK and network profiles problem

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a 5800XM phone, with the idea of setting up my personal email account on the device, using my office's network access point.
    The access point / router is a Comtrend 5361. The SSID is set to hidden (no broadcast), and the security is set to WPA-PSK (pre-shared key).
    On the Nokia phone I go to 'Settings -> Connectivity -> Wireless LAN' and choose 'Other (hidden netw.)'.
    Then I choose 'Connect', set the WLAN network name, the phone shows a message 'No WLAN network found', but then prompts to choose network mode (Infrastructure - Hidden),  and then password. It connects succesfully and asks for storing the network profile under offline mode, I tell it to do so, and the new profile appears under 'Network destinations -> Internet'. So until now everything seems ok.
    The problem is that after the phone disconnects from the internet, the stored profile seems to be useless, since the phone never connects automatically even if the AP is available and always shows 'Search for WLAN'. In the list the hidden access point never shows up so the only choice is repeating the steps that I mentioned above, creating a new profile every time I want to surt the net.
    Is there a solution to this, or a third party software that can do the trick?, I have OS V21.0.25, custom version 21.0.025.219.06 from Vodafone, no updates available as of today, but I've tested it with a phone that has the latest OS v30 and it shows the same behavior.
    I can't change the access point settings, so I must stick to WPA and hidden SSID, so for me this is almost a deal breaker.

    Ok, I was testing the wifi part without a sim card inserted, with a sim, the phone connects to the profile properly, but without the sim it has an odd behavior, not loading the profile and wrongly stating that it can't connect when it does (but disconnects randomly).
    So the problem is that wireless lan management doesn't work properly without a sim card.

  • WPA-PSK configuration [RESOLVED]

    I'm doing something really stupid but as I don't know much about linux - let along wireless linux - I just know I'm doing something INSANELY stupid.
    I finally got my wireless working thanks to chrismortimore and tardo   But it's working with its front door wide open. I want to secure it with WPA-PSK.
    I've got a Netgear DG834GT ADSL Modem Router.  I'm manually configuring it and it gives me the following four security options:
    1. Disable
    2. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
    3. WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)
    4.  WPA-802.1x
    I've been using it on 1. for a couple of days now without any problems.  However, I switched it to 3. (WPA-PSK) and it asked me for a 8-63 digit Network Key.  I set it with 4rchL1nuxR0ck5.
    I then altered my /etc/conf.d/wireless from:
    wlan_eth2="eth2 essid ShagNet"
    which I know works to:
    wlan_eth2="eth2 essid ShagNet key s:4chL1nuxR0ck5"
    I rebooted but it didn't work.  I couldn't get any web pages to load in Konqueror.
    Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    for wpa you need the wpa_supplicant. install it and then edit and USE your network-profile (/etc/network-profiles/...) like this:
    # Wireless Settings (optional)
    ESSID=ShagNet
    #KEY=
    IWOPTS="mode managed essid $ESSID channel ?"
    USEWPA="yes" # start wpa_supplicant with the profile
    AUTOWPA="yes" # automatically configure WPA
    PASSKEY="4rchL1nuxR0ck5" # wpa passkey/phrase. for use with AUTOWPA
    for this your rc.conf must look like this:
    INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !foo)
    NET_PROFILES=(menu)
    hope that this will help you...

  • Wifi (WPA-PSK) not restored after sleep?  (10.4.10)

    Hi,
    Has anyone else noticed that their Wifi connection is not being restored after the MacBook comes back from a sleep?
    I'm using a 2006 white MacBook (Core Duo) with 10.4.10, connecting to a Cisco 877W ADSL router using WPA-PSK. Cisco firmware version is (C870-ADVSECURITYK9-M), Version 12.4(4)T7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1), "flash:c870-advsecurityk9-mz.124-4.T7.bin" which seems to be current.
    From a cold boot, there is no problem connecting to the wireless router, but after a sleep, the connection is not restored, and the router syslog shows repeated unsuccessful authentication attempts from the Macbook's MAC address.
    Connecting manually to the correct network SSID doesn't resolve the problem: it just prompts for the WPA PSK keyphrase, which doesn't work if entered. Of course the correct keyphrase is already in the keychain.
    As a workaround, switching the Macbook's Airport off and on again a few times eventually seems to get it working again, but it's slow and very clunky.
    Can anyone else confirm this problem? It seems to have been introduced with 10.4.10, but I would like independent confirmation before reporting this to Apple, as I changed the wireless router around the same time as the 10.4.10 update appeared.
    Thanks,
    - Martin.
    PS: I guess there are two morals to this story...
    1) Always clone your hard drive to a Lacie drive with SuperDuper before installing any Apple updates - so that you can back out any buggy updates without a full reinstall.
    2) Don't install any Apple updates within 2 weeks of installing other network changes - so that you can tell what's caused any issues.

    The WPA auth problem still exists on a clean install of Leopard (and a full reboot is needed to clear it every time the laptop comes out of sleep) so I'll ring Apple Support and see if they can at least add it to their known issues list, in the hope of resolution later. It's quite likely that downgrading to WEP would be a workaround, but WEP is just not acceptable from a security perspective.

  • IPhone can't join network (WPA-PSK)

    I have a D-Link DI-524 router and it had always been set to WEP until I bought my Macbook Pro recently. Everything worked fine with WEP - my iphone, playstation 3, old laptop. But my macbook couldn't work with WEP, so I changed my router security setting to "WPA-PSK/WPA-PSK2"(shown as an option on the router setup page). Now my macbook and playstation 3 both work with the new setting, but not the iphone....it can detect the network but when I type in the correct password it says can't join the network. I've tried resetting the iphone network, rebooting it, still not working.
    I never got to the bottom of why my macbook can't work with WEP, but as long as it works with WPA that's fine so that I can at least use the web. I'm alright with having to use 3G on my iphone too, but it'll be very inconvenient if I have to download certain apps that require a wifi connection.

    Try the steps in the article below:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Another easy way to isolate the cause of the issue is by trying to connect those devices to another wifi network.

  • How do I make a movie clip play between scenes?

    I am VERYnew to flash so please bear with me. I am having a
    problem with a movie clip playing between scenes. As scene 1 plays,
    the movie works correctly. When I click on my button to go to scene
    2 the movie clip starts over. I would like it to continue from
    scene 1 seamlessly. Is this possible? How do I do it?

    avoid scenes - they are only for timeline management inside
    flash only - upon export it all becomes
    one long timeline - using them can be useful but in many
    instances it can cause navigational issues
    such as yours. Many developers avoid scenes - the ones who
    use them are mostly animators who have
    longer timelines with different scenes (actual settings, like
    backgrounds and characters).

    I find a lot of people asking similar questions, but none of the answers have helped me so far. I hope to find someone here with a similar setup and the answer to all my problems

    That wpa_supplicant.conf looks dandy .
    Here's mine for reference:
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    ctrl_interface_group=0
    #fast_reauth=0
    #ap_scan=0
    #DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
    # My home network
    network={
    ssid=*snip*
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    proto=WPA2
    pairwise=CCMP
    group=CCMP
    #psk=*snip*
    psk=*snip*
    # Arne's network
    network={
    ssid=*snip*
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    proto=WPA
    pairwise=TKIP
    group=TKIP
    #psk=*snip*
    psk=*snip*
    As you can see the first one is WPA2, the second one WPA. Of course you can mix but that will imho only increase possible incompatibilities.
    My netcfg setup:
    CONNECTION="wireless"
    INTERFACE="intel"
    HOSTNAME="hermes"
    # AP authentication
    SCAN="yes"
    SECURITY="wpa-config"
    WPA_CONF="/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
    WPA_OPTS="-Dwext -B"
    ESSID=*snip*
    # IP address
    IP="dhcp"
    DHCP_TIMEOUT=10
    N does not add any additional security (except that it makes WPA2 mandatory as far as I understood, I might be wrong about this). My router runs OpenWRT and I only intend to switch to N when I find a router that is stable on OpenWRT, and provides N performance and range (now you often have to resort to G MIMO drivers and stuff with OpenWRT on N models).
    hey!, thanks for your config there, now I have wifi using wpa2 connecting properly on a dell xps m1330.
    But I also found that if I didn't use netcfg to stop the profile manually, I couldn't reboot the system and after typing 'reboot' I think the wpa_supplicant is just killed or crashes and the system is stuck on '> Rebooting'. I had to use 'netcfg2 -d abc' to stop the profile then reboot.
