Abstract
An information handling system may include a processor, a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured for out-of-band management of the information handling system, and a smart network interface card communicatively coupled to the processor and the management controller, and configured to obtain a secret for authenticating the smart network interface card to the management controller, request an access token reference from the management controller, the request including the secret and an identifier of the smart network interface card in order to authenticate the smart network interface card to the management controller, in response to the request for the access token reference, receive the access token reference, and communicate a management task request to the management controller using the access token reference.
