Abstract
This document relates to a process for autopilot re-enrollment of managed devices in a network following a reset of the managed devices. Upon determining that the managed devices lack a hardware authenticator, a one-time password can be issued to the managed devices that may be stored in a persistent memory, and upon reset of the managed devices, the one-time password can be returned for validation and the managed devices can be automatically re-enrolled in the network upon validation of the one-time password.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to automatically manage a reset operation for a managed device by:
- generating a one-time password for use by the managed device in re-enrollment of the managed device in a network following the reset operation;
- issuing the one-time password to the managed device;
- receiving an authentication request from the managed device following the reset operation, the authentication request including a post-reset password;
- and
- validating the post-reset password against the issued one-time password to confirm re-enrollment of the managed device in the network.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a request to reset a device on a network;
- determining that the device does not include a hardware authenticator for re-enrollment of the device on the network after reset of the device;
- generating a one-time password for use by the device in automatic re-enrollment in the network after reset of the device upon determining that the device does not include the hardware authenticator;
- and
- issuing the generated one-time password to the device.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to re-enroll the system in a network automatically by:
- receiving, from a management server, a one-time password for use in re-enrollment of the system into a network;
- installing the one-time password into a persistent storage area;
- initiating a reset process to reset the system to an initial factory settings state;
- and
- issuing the one-time password that was installed in the persistent storage area to the management server for validation to re-enroll the system in the network.
