Client Certificates
Onboarding codes are time-sensitive and are used to add DM Agent-managed devices and configure the WfH client and Auth Agent. All generated and valid onboarding codes are displayed in the Onboarding Codes table. Generated codes will expire after 24 hours at most depending on the validity period.
When a device, WfH device, or an Auth Agent is added to the application, an equivalent client certificate is generated by the system. The certificates will be displayed on the Certificate Management table.
A code and a certificate can be one of the following Client Types:
-
DM Agent - The code and certificates generated with this client type will be used in adding and managing Ricoh devices. More DM Agent details are described in Add Devices to CloudStream DM.
-
Auth Agent - The code and certificates generated with this client type are used to set up and connect authentication agent to the application. See Auth Agent Installation for more details.
-
Work from Home Client - The code and certificates generated with this client type are used to set up the WfH Client and add WfH devices. Please see Work from Home (WfH) Client.
