Abstract
Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate provisioning an out-of-band system. In some embodiments, the system includes a server of a first domain, which includes a management engine. The management engine can establish a network tunnel with a device on a second domain, and modify the domain on a DHCP server on the second domain to be the first domain. The device can use a fixed subdomain of the first domain to transmit a provisioning request for an OOB management system to a provisioning engine in the first domain, which can transmit a certificate including the first domain to the device. The device can validate the certificate by comparing the domain in the certificate to the domain from the DHCP server and verify that they match. The management engine can modify the DHCP server to have the original second domain.
