Abstract
Providing configuration information to an endpoint includes receiving at a file server a configuration information request from the endpoint. The configuration information request requests configuration information for the endpoint. The file server establishes whether the endpoint is authorized to receive the configuration information. If the endpoint is not authorized to receive the configuration information, the endpoint is instructed to register to receive the configuration information. A notification that the endpoint is authorized to receive the configuration information is received. The configuration information is provided to the endpoint when the endpoint is authorized to receive the configuration information.
