a. For Android devices, the link is to a file containing the Onboard configuration settings; downloading this file
will launch the QuickConnect app on the device.
b. For Windows and Mac, the link is to a executable file appropriate for that operating system that includes both
the QuickConnect app and the Onboard configuration settings.
3. The QuickConnect app uses the Onboard provisioning workflow to authenticate the user and provision their device
with the Onboard server. The device is configured with appropriate network settings and credentials that are unique
to the device.
4. After provisioning has completed, the app switches the device to PEAP authentication using the newly provisioned
unique device credentials. Mutual authentication is performed (the authentication server verifies the client’s
username and password, and the client verifies the authentication server’s certificate).
5. The device is now onboard and is able to securely access the network.
The Onboard provisioning workflow is used to securely provision a device and configure it with network settings.
Figure 19 shows a sequence diagram that explains the steps involved in this workflow.

Configuring the User Interface for Device Provisioning
The user interface for device provisioning can be customized in three different ways:
l Customizing the Web login page used for device provisioning.
All devices will reach the device provisioning Web login page as the first step of the provisioning process.See
"Customizing the Device Provisioning Web Login Page" on page 81 to make changes to the content or formatting
of this page.
l Customizing the properties of the device provisioning profile for iOS and OS X devices.
After starting the provisioning process, users of iOS and OS X are prompted to accept a configuration profile. See
"Configuring Provisioning Settings for iOS and OS X" on page 148 to make changes to the content of this profile.
l Customizing the user interface of the QuickConnect app for Windows, Mac OS X and Android devices.
The provisioning process for Windows, Mac OS X and Android devices uses a separate app, which has a
customizable user interface. See "Configuring Options for Legacy OS X, Windows, and Android Devices" on page
153 to make changes to the user interface.
