Extensions in Cisco Aironet Utility, V 2.1.13-2 (and later)
With eLux NG V1.20 the software package "Cisco Aironet Utility 2.1.13" has been extended by
the programs "leapscript" and "leapset".
leapscript enables to set the user name and password for the LEAP-authentication. LEAP is
an authentication method supported by Cisco WLAN devices for networks secured by IEEE
802.1x. Up to now user name and password could only be entered via graphical interface
(acu), so that during boot procedure no network connection was available nor could the
management server be reached.
leapscript reads the user name and password for the LEAP authentication from the file
/setup/aironet/aironet.ini. This file can be entered in Scout Enterprise for devices and/or
groups (properties of groups or devices – Advanced file entries).
Structure of the file /setup/aironet/aironet.ini:
Example 1:
[LEAP]
Username=elux
CleartextPassword=secret
The device authenticates with the user name elux and the password secret. The password
is shown as plain text.
Example 2:
[LEAP]
Username=__HOSTNAME__
CleartextPassword=secret
The macro __HOSTNAME__ is being replaced by the host name of the device, i.e. each
device authenticates by its network name and the password secret.
Example 3:
[LEAP]
Username=elux
Password=q]@Xy^b[w
In this example the password is stored in encrypted form.
leapset – just like leapscript – serves for entry of the user name and password for the LEAP
authentication. However, entry with leapset can only be done interactively, not by scriptfile.

network, consult the Cisco documentation.
