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.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- installing a pre-shared key plug-in on an electronic device;
- receiving, from the pre-shared key plug-in through a client management system, identification data associated with the electronic device;
- assigning a pre-shared key to the electronic device using the identification data;
- sending the pre-shared key to the electronic device;
- configuring the electronic device to authenticate for a wireless network using the pre-shared key;
- and
- allowing the electronic device to access the wireless network based on a status of an association between the pre-shared key and the electronic device.
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of memories configured to store operations;
- a plurality of processors configured to perform the operations comprising:
- installing a pre-shared key plug-in on an electronic device;
- receiving, from the pre-shared key plug-in through a client management system, identification data associated with the electronic device;
- assigning a pre-shared key to the electronic device using the identification data;
- sending the pre-shared key to the electronic device;
- configuring the electronic device to authenticate for a wireless network using the pre-shared key;
- and
- allowing the electronic device to access the wireless network based on a status of an association between the pre-shared key and the electronic device.
A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
- installing a pre-shared key plug-in on a user equipment (UE) device;
- receiving, from the pre-shared key plug-in, identification data associated with the UE device;
- assigning a pre-shared key to send to the UE device;
- based on the identification data, associating the pre-shared key to the UE device;
- configuring the UE device to authenticate for a wireless network using the pre-shared key;
- and
- allowing the UE device to access the wireless network based on a status of an association between the pre-shared key and the UE device, wherein the identification data comprises user information of the UE device.
