Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to provisioning of credentials, and in particular to provisioning of authentication credentials to a computer device for accessing a cloud platform computer system. The computer device obtains sensor data and sends a request including a device identifier to a provisioning server using a provisioning server network address. The computer device receives a response, from the provisioning server, including a platform credential and a platform server network address of a platform server. The computer device stores the platform credential. The computer device sends the sensor data and the platform credential to the platform server using the platform server network address.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a security inflow contract between a work-initiating system and a work-performing system. A portable, generic security inflow contract between an EIS/connector and an application server is provided that enables the connector to establish security information while submitting a work instance for execution to a work manager and while delivering messages to message endpoints of the application server. The security inflow contract enables all activities of a work instance that is submitted by a connector to be performed in the context of an established identity, thus insuring that all interactions between an application server and an EIS/connector are secure, and may prevent unauthorized access to application components deployed in an application server.
