Abstract
Methods and systems for managing onboarding of a data processing system are disclosed. To manage onboarding of the data processing system, an entitlement certificate may be obtained from an ownership voucher transferred to the data processing system as part of an onboarding of the data processing system. The entitlement certificate may include a list of entitlements for the data processing system signed using a private key of a public private key pair maintained by a manufacturer of the data processing system. A management controller of the data processing system may utilize the entitlement certificate to request entitlements for the data processing system and to perform action sets to manage the entitlements. The requested entitlements may be verified as trusted by any entity with a public key of the public private key pair maintained by the manufacturer.
