Configuring Badge EAP-TLS Authentication for Unique Certificates

To add security and increased control over devices in your network, you can configure Vocera devices to use unique certificates.

Although not necessarily recommended by Vocera, some wireless environments warrant the additional security that unique certificates provide in the network. In most cases, this extra layer of security is not needed where a single certificate for all devices is sufficient. However, if your organization desires greater security and granularity of control you can use individual certificates.

If you decide to utilize unique certificates in your environment, you must perform a series of manual steps before running the BCU to update and provision your Vocera devices. In addition to the manual steps, you will also need to apply maintenance differently than in environments configured to use a single certificate.
