Generating and Distributing First-Authentication Keys for Devices
To establish a connection with the ICG, every device must authenticate with the ICG. For this purpose, a first-authentication key must be generated. On first contact with the ICG, the device must present this key.
Creating a New Mass-Deployment Key for Arbitrary Devices
Go to UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Cloud Gateway Options.
Click .
Select Create new mass-deployment key.
Activate or deactivate Generate random mass-deployment key to choose the method of key generation:
The key is generated by the UMS.
You can enter a key of your own in the entry field.
Click OK. One or more new entries appear in the list.
Distributing the Key via E-Mail or Printed Letter
Go to UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Cloud Gateway Options.
In the list First-authentication key, select the desired password entries and click to copy the credentials to the clipboard. The data required for connecting a device to the ICG is in the clipboard: host address, ICG server certificate fingerprint, and the password. The contents of the clipboard will look similar to the following example: -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Host: 222.222.222.222 Port: 8443
Root Certificate Fingerprint Part 1: 1231231231231231 Part 2: 2342342342342342 Part 3: 3453453453453453 Part 4: 4564564564564564 -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- First-authentication key: 17171717171717171 -------------------------------------------------------------- The clipboard contains data for all active ICGs. In the example above, 1 ICG connection is active. If, for instance, 3 ICG were active, the data for those 3 ICG would be included.
To send the credentials via e-mail, paste the data into an encrypted e-mail. To send the credentials in a printed letter, paste the data in your e-mail program or word processor.
