Onboard an Android device through self-onboarding

In this topic, you will learn how to onboard using the self-onboarding portal, an Android device, and a wireless network managed by Portnox™ Cloud.

Authenticate with the self-onboarding portal

In this section, you will learn how to authenticate with the self-onboarding portal using your corporate identity.

  1. Enter the URL of the self-onboarding portal in your browser.

    To learn how to set up the self-onboarding portal and obtain the URL, see the following topic: Set up the self-onboarding portal.

  2. Press one of the available buttons representing authentication repositories. Then, complete the authorization process as required by your authentication repository.

    Note:
    The buttons available on this page will depend on the authentication repositories integrated with your Portnox Cloud. It is very likely that your organization will only use one of them. The Corporate email option is available only if you configured the self-onboarding portal to allow end-users to use and create Portnox accounts using the self-onboarding portal.
    1. Optional: If the Corporate email option is available, press the button, enter your email address in the Email field, and then press the Sign In button. Then, check your email account. You will receive a code via email. Copy the code, paste it in the Activation code field, and press the Confirm button.

  3. In the Select your device’s operating system field, select the Windows option.
    Note:
    In this step, you need to select Windows, because the format of the certificate that you download later is the same for Windows and for Android.
