Abstract
A docking station requests first system specific information of an information handling system, in response to detecting a connection of the information handling system to the docking station. Subsequent to the connection, the docking station transmits the first system specific information from the information handling system to a cloud backend for authentication. The cloud backend compares the first system specific information received from the docking station with second system specific information received from the information handling system. The authentication is successful when the first system specific information matches the second system specific information. The docking station powers up an execution unit in response to receipt of information from the cloud backend that the authentication is successful.
