Results

After you create a device, a dialog box with the device certificate automatically appears. The device certificate includes a ProductKey, a DeviceName, and a DeviceSecret, and is the credential for the device to communicate with IoT Platform. You must use these credentials when configuring a physical device. Copy this information and store it in a secure location.

To view this information later, find the device in the device list, click View, and go to the Device Information tab on the Device Details page.
