not exactly an FR problem, but at least I hope not a trivial question: My institution is taking part in a program to test the use of 100+ WiFi Clients handed out to students for use during a lecture or even for online exams. So we have 140 iPads along with a "filling station" for easy bulk configuration. WiFi auth will be done with EAP-TLS against FR. Now my question: Do I definitely need 140 client certs to deploy them on the iPads or could I get along with one cert for # all?
The point of client certs is that they are per-client. i.e. unique to each client.
The only drawback I can see is that if one iPad gets lost, I have to renew the client cert on _all_ of them, which I could bear due to the easy bulk config. Anything else?
