Abstract
Techniques are described herein that are capable of registering a user device with a cloud-based management service using an intermediate cloud storage. For instance, the intermediate cloud storage may store an encrypted data blob including information that identifies the user device. The intermediate cloud storage or a registration system may decrypt the encrypted data blob so that the registration system may use the decrypted data blob to register the user device with the cloud-based management service. For instance, the registration system may retrieve the encrypted or decrypted data blob from the intermediate cloud storage by providing a requisite secret to the intermediate cloud storage. The requisite secret may be provided to the registration system by the user device (e.g., via a matrix barcode, such as a QR code).
