Abstract
A unique pre-shared key plug-in is installed on a Chromebook device. Identification data associated with the Chromebook device is received, from the unique pre-shared key plug-in through a Chromebook client management system API. A unique pre-shared key is assigned to the Chromebook device using the identification data. The unique pre-shared key is sent to the Chromebook device. The Chromebook device is configured to seamlessly authenticate for a wireless network using the unique pre-shared key.
