Abstract
Methods and systems of automatically provisioning authentication credentials on a plurality of network devices. The method may include determining a process for provisioning the authentication credentials for the plurality of devices. The process may include steps of gaining access to a network device, entering a command to reach a network service interface associated to the network device, indicating a location of the authentication credentials, and initiating installation of the authentication credentials. The method may also include providing a computer program to follow the process. The computer program may be a script that is automatically executed without a user intervention. The method may further include developing a list of the plurality of devices that need to be provisioned, associating the list of the plurality of devices to the computer program, executing the computer program for each device, and outputting whether each of the plurality of network devices has a successful authentication credential update.
