A method and system for provisioning a first computing device and authenticating the provisioned first computing device are disclosed, comprising sending a request to prepare the first computing device, including providing a request identifier and an authentication token to be stored on the provisioned first computing device, receiving a unique identifier of the provisioned first computing device, storing the request identifier, the authentication token, and the received unique identifier in a provisioning data structure, and authenticating the provisioned first computing device on the network based on a determination that a unique identifier and the authentication token stored on the provisioned first computing device requesting authentication match both the authentication token and the received unique identifier of the provisioned first computing device in the provisioning data structure.

Provisioning and integrating devices

A method and system for automatic device provisioning includes a computer system for authenticating a user using a first device. The computer system receives a request for automatic provisioning of a second device. An authentication token and a request identifier of the request is associated with a provisioning data structure for the user. The request including the authentication token is sent to a third device. The computer system receives a unique identifier for the second device from the third device. Based on a determination that the unique identifier and the authentication token of the second device match the unique identifier and authentication token in the provisioning data structure, authenticate the second device, retrieve a configuration profile for the user, and cause application of the configuration profile to one or more settings of the second device.
