What is the error “TLS certificate validation failure” when trying to setup wifi on the NDEs?

Factors that can lead to TLS certificate validation failure on NDE:

  • Certificate size is too large (NDE1.0,  Full certificate size must be < 4096)
  • Hash(Sha-1) validation failure during root certificate install.  This is something HOST calculates and sends along with the root certificate.  Lock calculates and verifies the HASH before the cert is installed.
  • Unsupported certificate is sent.
  • Certificate Signature Validation failure.
  • Is this happening on some or all of the locks within a site?
    • If some of the locks – Could be issue with specific router(s)
    • If most of the locks – it could be either their hosting service if PACS or our Engage hosting service
    • Any changes within the RF environment?  (Any new wireless cameras, devices added when this started happening that could interfere with Wifi)
  • Review the audits from the failing locks and see if the issues started on the same day with the locks failing.
    • Same date suggests a change on certain date may have caused the issues.
  • Engage or PACs,  Ask if there was any changes introduced within host around certificates or anything else on a given date.
  • Check the battery voltage levels.  Wifi is not operational at low battery levels,  replace with fresh batteries and try again.
  • Check firmware level on failing locks and see if the issue is around certain firmware version
    • Did the issues start happening when firmware was updated?
    • If the locks are on older version, update them to the latest firmware.
