ABSTRACT:
Configuring a device operating in a network environment comprises receiving a network policy from a policy authority, classifying the network policy based on the identity of the policy authority, determining a local policy according to the classification, and determining a device configuration change to comply with the network policy in accordance with the local policy. Configuring a device joining a network environment includes detecting that a device has joined the network environment, sending a network policy from a policy authority to the device, the network policy including authentication information for the policy authority, and notifying the presence of the device to a policy monitor.
