Abstract: Methods and systems are described which obtain a service token at an edge device. Embodiments obtain a device certificate from an authentication service based on a private key which is associated with a public key. The public key is further associated with a device identifier for the edge device at a directory service. Embodiments send a request for a service token to an authentication service from a directory service based on the private key where the directory service has identified the public key for the edge device. Other embodiments extract the device identifier from the device certificate and send a request for a service token to the directory service, where the request includes the device certificate and the device identifier. Embodiments receive the service token from the directory service and use the service token to access a service.
