Abstract
A method is provided in which a development environment sends commands to an on-premises device that are signed by both (a) development environment and by (b) an execution environment (trusted source), and account for versioning. In so doing, the on-premises device that receives the command is able to authenticate both the sending entity, i.e., a production server, and the source of the command files to determine that the command is a valid configuration/upgrade package that may be safely installed and executed.
