We’re setting up a Zero Trust approach using Hexnode and wanted to see how others are handling Identity and Authentication. How are you making sure only verified users can enroll devices?

We went with IdP integration. Hexnode works with Okta, Microsoft Azure Active Directory, and Google Workspace, so we connected ours there. That way, enrollment is tied to authenticated users instead of leaving it open.

Yeah, same setup here. We also turned on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) during enrollment. Helps a lot since even if someone has the password, they still can’t onboard a device without that second step.

Makes sense. So basically, both the user identity and the enrollment process are being verified. Are you controlling this fully from Hexnode or mostly from the IdP side?

Both play a role. The IdP handles authentication, and in Hexnode we enabled “Enforce Authentication” in enrollment settings. So, every device has to be linked to a verified user before it gets in.
Works well for Zero Trust since nothing is trusted by default and every access is checked upfront.
