Abstract

Disclosed are various examples for facilitating distribution of an authentication code to installation of managed applications. An identity certificate is sent to a device by installing a configuration profile on the client device. The configuration profile includes the identity certificate. A management service can also initiate installation of a managed application. The identity certificate can be used to authenticate the client device so that an authentication key can be provided to the managed application.
