Onboarding a Gateway to VMware Pulse IoT Center

Onboard your gateway to VMware Pulse IoT Center using the steps described in this section.

To onboard your gateway, you must perform the following steps:

1. Create a device template.
2. Download and install the IoTC Agent.
3. Onboard your gateway using one of the following authentication methods:
   1. Basic Authentication - A simple authentication scheme built into the HTTP protocol. The client sends HTTP requests with the Authorization header that contains the word Basic followed by a space and a base64-encoded string username:password.
   2. Token-Based Authentication - Creates a single use gateway credential with signature and expire time verification.
   3. Property-Based Authentication - Creates a single use gateway credential with device identity value verification.
   4. TPM-Based Authentication - Creates a single use gateway credential with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) identity value verification. Using this authentication method, you can allow a gateway for enrollment.
