Common management frameworks

A method comprising:

• parsing, by a computer system, a manageable features message received from a deployed electronic device according to a common management framework protocol to determine specifications for a manageable feature of the deployed electronic device;
• generating, by the computer system, a features object comprising the specification for the manageable feature according to the common management framework protocol;
• associating, by the computer system the features object to the deployed electronic device;
• generating, by the computer system, a user interface based on the features object;
• and
• sending, by the computer system, configuration message to the deployed electronic device based on user input received through the user interface and the features object.

An electronic device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising executable code comprising in that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
• monitor for a discovery message broadcast in compliance with a common management framework protocol from a remote computing system on a communication network to which the electronic device is coupled;
• conduct a secure handshake session with the remote computing system according to the common management framework protocol in response to the discovery message;
• and
• send a manageable features message in compliance with the common management framework protocol and comprising a plurality of manageable feature specifications for the electronic device.
