    Abstract: A system for automatic fleet partitioning includes client devices and a device management server having tag definition and tag assignment repositories. The server receives and stores, in the tag definition repository, definitions with tag assignment criteria; and for each client device: obtains a client identifier and attribute set; for each tag assignment criterion satisfied by the attribute set, associates a corresponding tag name with the client identifier in the tag assignment repository; and for each tag assignment criterion not satisfied by the attribute set, disassociates the corresponding tag name with the client device identifier. The server receives a command to transmit control data to a subset of the client devices associated with a selected tag name; retrieves, from the tag assignment repository, the client identifiers associated with the selected tag name; and transmits the control data to the subset of the client devices.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided to facilitate connections between devices, such as a printer and a cloud-based server, and to implement an adaptive application framework. In the context of an apparatus, a printer is provided comprising communications circuitry configured to facilitate communications with a network; and processing circuitry configured to transmit a connection request to the network; receive requested connection parameters from the network; transmit printer connection parameters to the network; and establish a first secure connection between the printer and the network. The printer comprising processing circuitry further configured to receive requested connection parameters comprising at least a signed security certificate and a DNS name for a server on the network and to verify the signed security certificate and the DNS name for the server. The printer comprising processing circuitry further configured to transmit printer connection parameters comprising at least a signed security certificate for the printer.
