The invention relates to management of access points in a wireless local area network. The access points store identifiers of service devices authorized to transmit configuration data and authentication data associated with the identifiers and required to authenticate the server devices. At least a server device identifier and an authentication token created in the server device are transmitted from the server device to at least one access point when at least one access point needs to be configured. The received authentication token is compared with a reference authentication token determined in the access point. An encrypted connection tunnel is arranged for access point management if the received authentication token corresponds to the reference authentication token. The configuration data are transmitted to the access point using the encrypted connection tunnel and the access point is configured on the basis of the received configuration data.
