When using the Application to Application (A2A) functionality in senhasegura to create credentials associated with devices, it is crucial to be aware of the presence of duplicate devices within the system, particularly those that share the same IP or hostname. senhasegura, by default, will select the device that was registered first in the system when multiple devices have the same identifier. This particularity can impact credential management if not properly monitored and managed.
Steps to Manage Duplicate Devices:
- Checking Existing Devices:
- Before creating a new credential for a device via A2A, check if there are duplicate devices with the same IP or hostname.
- Managing Duplicate Devices:
-
If you identify duplicate devices, evaluate which device should be kept active for A2A operations.
-
De-identification of Old Devices: If necessary, de-identify the device that will not be used (the one previously registered) to avoid confusion in the automatic selection of the system.
-
Validation of Deactivated Devices: Make sure to also review the devices that are deactivated to confirm that there are no conflicts or duplications that could affect future configurations.
- Creation of Credentials for the Correct Device:
- Proceed with the creation of the credential for the correctly identified and prepared device, thus ensuring that the A2A functionality is applied to the appropriate device.
Implementing these steps facilitates efficient and secure management of A2A credentials in senhasegura, maximizing the effectiveness of operations and minimizing potential risks associated with device confusion.
