Setting Security Properties / Configuring Badge EAP-TLS Authentication for Unique Certificates |
Learn how to deploy Vocera Badges with unique certificates.
The BCU provides benefits beyond loading badge firmware and updates to the badge properties file. Although not necessarily recommended, you can use the BCU to accept PFX (PCKS12) format client certificate files and convert them to a PEM format which is supported by Vocera badges. This is achieved by using the MAC address referenced on the certificate file name, so that certificates are pushed to the provisioned badges.
Result: After all the passwords are entered, the Badge Configuration Utility runs automatically were badges are provisioned with the needed firmware and properties, and each badge with a unique EAP-TLS certificate.
