Abstract:
An information handling system includes a provisioning server and a server. The server includes a baseboard management controller (BMC) that configures a first ownership certificate for the server, and provides it to the provisioning server. The first ownership certificate is associated with a first owner. The BMC receives a first signed provisioning configuration content, and stores the first signed provisioning configuration content in an encrypted memory. The BMC configures a second ownership certificate for the server, and provides it to the provisioning server. The second ownership certificate is associated with a second owner. The BMC receives a second signed provisioning configuration content, and stores the second signed provisioning configuration content on top of the first signed provisioning configuration content in the encrypted memory. In response to an expiration of the second ownership certificate, the BMC removes the first signed provisioning configuration content, and applies the second signed provisioning configuration content.
