Abstract
A method and data processing device for detecting connection of a second device at an interface of an IHS. The method includes receiving a request to modify at least one secure functionality associated with the IHS, the request comprising identification input. The method includes generating security credentials that correspond to a predetermined level of security that is assigned to the identification input. The method includes triggering the service processor to establish a secure communication link to the second device for communicatively connecting a digitally generated keyboard. The method includes autonomously inputting the security credentials to the digitally generated keyboard. The method includes signaling to the digitally generated keyboard to write the security credentials to the second device for use to obtain access to the IHS according to the predetermined level of security. Based on the predetermined level of security, the method includes enabling management of certain functionalities of the IHS.
