Abstract:
Approaches in accordance with various embodiments allow for zero-touch enrollment of devices with respective manager systems. In at least one embodiment, a device at startup can contact a central directory service (CDS) for information about an associated manager. The CDS can authenticate the device using device information included in the request, and can send a challenge token to the device in response. The challenge token can include information for the manager, protected with multiple layers of security that should only be able to be decrypted by the authenticated device. The device can decrypt this challenge token to determine the manager information, and can convert this challenge token to a bearer token. The device can then send a request to the determined manager that includes the bearer token, which the manager can use to authenticate the device. The manager can then send the device appropriate configuration information.
