Device Enrolment Best Practices

The following are considerations when adding enrolment information for a new Edge device.

• Be descriptive when selecting Device IDs and use optional fields such as Group or Description when possible. This information may assist you later in triaging issues (security or maintenance) as they arise.
• When defining a shared secret, avoid simple or reused secrets. Although this secret is used only at the time of enrolment, using unique and complex secrets will minimize the chance of an attacker being able to impersonate a device after it is added to an Edge Manager instance, but before enrolment is completed. This is particularly important when performing bulk enrolment operations via the device list import.
