Tying Endpoints to Your UMS instance

Rationale

Devices that have remote management enabled but are not yet tied to a UMS instance can be taken over by an attacker’s UMS. To prevent unauthorized management, ensure that all IGEL devices on your network are registered with your organization’s UMS.

Instructions

There are several ways to register devices on UMS 12:

• Scanning the local network for devices
  --> See: How to Scan the Network for Devices and Register Them

• Using automatic registration in a local network (DHCP or DNS)
  --> See: Registering Devices Automatically on the IGEL UMS

• Importing devices from a CSV File
  --> See: Importing Devices

• Onboarding devices via IGEL Onboarding Service (OBS)
  This method supports remote devices outside the corporate network, such as those used by home office or mobile users.
  --> See: Initial Configuration of the IGEL Onboarding Service
