Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for fire control system authentication are described herein. One method includes authenticating a user device to an authentication server, receiving, from the authentication server, an offline token, and authenticating the user device to a fire control panel using the offline token.
Claims19
A method for fire control system authentication, comprising:
- authenticating a user device to an authentication server;
- receiving, from the authentication server, an offline token, wherein the offline token includes a role associated with a user of the user device, and wherein the role associated with the user of the user device indicates an ability for the user to modify configuration data of a fire control panel and devices of a fire control network to which the fire control panel belongs;
- and
- authenticating the user device to the fire control panel using the offline token.
1 more element
A system for fire control system authentication, comprising:
- a user device;
- an authentication server;
- and
- a fire control panel;
- wherein:
- the authentication server is configured to send the user device an offline token responsive to authenticating the user device to the authentication server, wherein the offline token includes a role associated with a user of the user device, and wherein the role associated with the user of the user device indicates an ability for the user to modify configuration data of the fire control panel and devices of a fire control network to which the fire control panel belongs;
- the user device is configured to store the offline token;
- the fire control panel is configured to authenticate the user device using the offline token without a network connection;
- and
- the user device is configured to thereafter modify operations of the fire control panel.
7 more elements
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- authenticate a user device to an authentication server;
- receive an offline token from the authentication server, wherein the offline token includes a role associated with a user of the user device, and wherein the role associated with the user of the user device indicates an ability for the user to modify configuration data of a fire control panel and devices of a fire control network to which the fire control panel belongs;
- store the offline token in memory;
- and
- authenticate the user device to the fire control panel absent an Internet connection using the offline token.
