Abstract
Methods and systems for registering a management controller of a data processing system with a server are disclosed. To register a management controller, an identifier for the management controller may be cryptographically signed using a private key of a public private key pair kept secret by a trusted platform module (TPM). The signed identifier may be provided to the server and the sever may utilize a public key of the public private key pair to verify the signed identifier was signed by a trusted entity. If the signed identifier is verified by the server, the server may register the management controller as associated with the data processing system and as a trusted entity to manage operation of hardware resources of the data processing system. The management controller may subsequently utilize an out of band communication channel to interact with the server to manage the operation of the data processing system.
