Manual Configuration Steps for the Badge Properties Editor

Learn the manual steps that must be performed before running the Badge Properties Editor.

Create the following folders in the following location: %vocera_drive%\vocera\config\certs\files.
Place ALL client certificates (.pfx files) into the following folder:%vocera_drive%\vocera\config\certs\files.
Note: Each certificate MUST contain the MAC address of the corresponding badge in the following format:
- 00-09-ef-01-02-03.pfx
- 0009ef010203.pfx
- Mchapman_0009EF01ABCD.pfx
Providing the MAC address using this format allows the BCU to determine the corresponding badge.
Navigate to %vocera_drive%\vocera\config\gen3\badge\res\certificates\EAP-TLS and perform the following:
- Create two empty files and label them as follows; client_key and client_cert .
  Note: Do not provide an extension for these file.
- Obtain the root CA certificate (for example, rootca.pem), then rename the certificate to rootca_cert.
  Note: Do not provide an extension for the certificate file.
- Copy these three files and paste into the following locations:
  - %vocera_drive%\vocera\config\gen3n\badge\res\certificates\EAP-TLS
  - %vocera_drive%\vocera\config\gen2\badge\res\certificates\EAP-TLS
