Streamline Passwordless BYOD Onboarding with a Self-Service Certificate Installer
Let users enroll their own devices for secure Wi-Fi and VPN access without manual provisioning, shared passwords, or IT tickets. Included with Foxpass Advanced License.
What It Does
The Foxpass BYOD Certificate Installer provides a secure, self-service interface that allows users and organizations to:
Download and install an X.509 certificate
Enroll their personal (unmanaged) device for network access
Authenticate via EAP-TLS to your Wi-Fi or VPN infrastructure
Avoid password-based network authentication entirely
Complement MDM integrations to provide complete zero-trust, certificate-based network access for every device — managed or BYOD
This enables passwordless, certificate-based authentication—a core pillar of zero-trust network access.
