      Hey guys new to the pf sense forum.

      I was needing some help on making the captive portal password to change automatically every Sunday night.

      Any suggestions?

      Thanks

        Hey,

        you can create a cronjob that calls s/th like this

        #!/usr/local/bin/php -f

        require_once("config.inc");
        require_once("auth.inc");

        $user =& getUserEntry("usernamefrompfsense");
        $pass =password
        local_user_set_password($user,$pass);
        write_config("Guest password changed");

        ?>

        This sets the password for "usernamefrompfsense" every morning to "password".
        You can create a hash from a date string to create nice new passwords.
