Keypools

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to add Keypools to VAULT.

What are Keypools?

A keypool is essentially a reservoir of keys, or Wi-Fi passwords, along with the corresponding SSID for authentication purposes.

VAULT has two types of keypools.

1. Global: A global keypool is available at all venues. Any subscriber's Wi-Fi password, or PSK, in that keypool will work at all venues. We recommend always using a global keypool and broadcasting the same SSID at all venues, for example, "RoamingiQ Wi-Fi."

2. Local: A local keypool is exclusive to one specific venue. Any subscriber's Wi-Fi password, or PSK, in that keypool will only work at that venue with that local keypool.

   1. However, if you also have a global keypool, any Wi-Fi passwords associated with the local keypool will also "roll up" to work with the global keypool.

How to Create Keypools

You may also create a new keypool while creating or modifying a venue within the venue settings.

Keypool Scope and Display Order

After you have created a keypool, you will see two additional values.

1. Scope: A scope is either "global," meaning it is a global keypool, or a random string of system-generated characters, indicating it is a local keypool.

2. Display Order: If multiple keypools are available at a venue, the keypool with the lowest display order will appear by default when the subscriber logs into their VAULT account.

As a best practice, ensure a local keypool at a Venue has a lower display order value than a global keypool at a Venue.
