The managed device has stored therein a pre-configured unique identifier of an authorized management device and a digital certificate assigned to the managed device prior to installation of the managed device within a network. A tunnel is established between the devices. The management device has stored therein a digital certificate assigned to the management device prior to installation of the management device within the network. The digital certificate of the management device is received by the managed device. Prior to allowing the management device to use the tunnel to perform management functionality in relation to the managed device, a unique identifier included within or associated with the digital certificate of the management device is confirmed with reference to the pre-configured unique identifier. |
