Abstract
Techniques for enabling cloud authentication of Layer 2-connected member devices via an IP-connected active device are provided. In one set of embodiments, the member device can transmit, to the active device, a request to authenticate the member device with a cloud management platform. The member device can further receive, from the active device, an encrypted nonce generated by the cloud management platform in response to the request, where the encrypted nonce is encrypted using a public key of the member device. The member device can decrypt the encrypted nonce using a private key of the member device to generate a decrypted nonce and can transmit the decrypted nonce to the active device. The member device can then receive, from the active device, a token generated by the cloud management platform indicating that the member device has been authenticated by the platform.
