# 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.

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",
                    "wifi-bands": [
                        "5G",
                        "2G"
                    ],
                    "bss-mode": "ap",
                    "encryption": {
                        "proto": "psk2",
                        "ieee80211w": "optional",
                        "key": "OpenWifi"
                    },
                    "multi-psk": [
                        {
                            "key": "akey",
                            "vlan-id": 100
                        },
                        {
                            "key": "bkey"
                            "vlan-id": 200
                        }
                    ],
                    "roaming": {
                        "message-exchange": "ds",
                        "generate-psk": true
                    }
                }
            ]
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: M-PSK passwords must be unique per `vlan-id` as the device will attempt to match security key to assigned virtual lan. In the above example, a password of `OpenWifi` will match the untagged interface of the SSID and unique password of `"akey"` will match client(s) to virtual lan 100.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://tip-1.gitbook.io/openwifi/2.2.0/configuration-examples/device-feature-configuration-examples/multi-psk-mdu-multiple-shared-key.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
