Prepare SwyxIt! users for Internet connection via RemoteConnector

With SwyxWare 12.20, the use of the SwyxRemoteConnector is significantly simplified. In particular, it is no longer necessary for SwyxIt! to first connect to the SwyxServer via the company network in order to download the user certificates.

Further information can be found in the online help:

Prerequisites for using the new mechanism are authentication via username/password and an existing client certificate.

Since these are not automatically created when a user is created, this may have to be configured for every single user.

The script attached to this article should make it easier for you to configure your users. If authentication via user name and password is not configured for a user, it is activated, a random password is created, the client certificate is generated and a WelcomeMail is sent. Existing client certificates will be left untouched.

To test the functionality of the script, enter the following command in the SwyxWare Powershell:

Get-IpPbxUser | .\Enable-IpPbxUserRemoteAccess.ps1 -WhatIf

After entering the password for your root certificate, the output shows which actions would be executed on each user.

For more information about the functions of the script, please refer to the included help:
