RULE BASED DEVICE ENROLLMENT

摘要

Techniques for providing enrollment services for various types of electronic devices in a communication network is disclosed. The electronic devices may include devices associated with a user and headless devices not associated with any user. In certain embodiments, a device enrollment system is disclosed that controls the authentication and enrollment of both user devices and headless devices within a communication network. The device enrollment system detects a particular device within a communication network, identifies a type of enrollment policy to be applied to the device based on a type of the device, applies a set of enrollment rules to the device in accordance with the enrollment policy and enrolls the device if the device satisfies one or more criteria specified by the enrollment rules.
