Associating a computing device with a group of other computing devices. A service receives a common credential from the computing device and associates the computing device with the other computing devices also associated with the common credential. The service generates a machine-specific credential for use by the computing device in subsequent communications with the service. The machine-specific credential is used to authenticate, identify, and group the computing device with the other computing devices in the subsequent communications.

Authenticated credential-based multi-tenant access to a service

Tracking data operations associated with unauthenticated computing devices to enable subsequent identification and remediation thereof. In embodiments in which one computing device has to trust another computing device without authenticating the other computing device, a machine identifier and a credential group value are associated with data operations in communications from the unauthenticated computing device. The data operations may be subsequently identified based on the machine identifier and credential group value. Remedial action may be taken on the identified data operations to restore data integrity.

Tracking and identifying operations from un-trusted clients

System and method for managing a plurality of clients. A request to implement a change in configuration data is received from a user. The configuration data relates to an operation of a client. The received request is stored in a memory area. Computer-executable instructions request topology data from the memory area based on the configuration data to identify the client. The requested topology data is received from the memory area. Computer-executable instructions identify a notification service associated with the client and notify the identified notification service of the change in the configuration data.
