Generating random strings from Cat Tools?

locust76

i,

I'm currently testing a Cisco 4400 series Wireless LAN Controller. 

 

I want to create a Guest VLAN, where guests can come into our building and connecting to a guest network using a single account with a password that changes every day.

 

I've already gotten the Activity written that does the following:

Logs in to the WLC via SSH

Deletes the Guest account

Recreates it using the current time as a password

Sends the network admin the Password of the Day via Email

 

The problem with that is, when I have this thing running at midnight every night, the password will always be the same. It doesn't have to be super complex.

 

Is there a way to have Kiwi Cat Tools generate a random string of, say, 6 digits or something, from within a command passed to a network device?

The line looks like this:

config netuser add guest %ctTimeHHMM wlan 0 userType guest lifetime 86400 description CLI

%ctTimeHHMM is where the password should be, I just want to use something other than date/time.  Is there something like a %ctRandomNumber or something like that?

Hi Locust76: 

I entered this as a feature request. We're going to need to update the script, and we'll let you know when we do.
