# Multi-PSK (MDU Shared Key)

Multiple Pre Shared Key is a popular configuration option in Multi Dwelling Unit, dormitory or similar environment where it is costly to implement complex 802.1x security however that same level of per-client security is highly desired.&#x20;

A SSID when configured for multi-psk can have multiple PSK/VID mappings. Each one of them can be bound to a specific MAC or be a wildcard.

```
			"ssids": [
				{
					"name": "MDU Wi-Fi",
