You have the option to provide various details when setting up your IoT solutions, including your service provider’s name, the specific region where you wish to implement your solutions, the instance you want to use and the chosen plan. Additionally, you can choose to become a trusted partner for that service.

Being a trusted partner grants you the status of a Device Authority Approved Partner as well. As a trusted partner, you gain additional privileges, specifically the ability to perform authentication type 6 (X.509) operations. This means that you can sign in and carry out operations on behalf of the trusted partner entity, allowing for enhanced functionality and flexibility in managing and securing your IoT devices.

Note: The change will be reflected in IoTConnect when the devices are connected and assigned certificates as well through KeyStores module.
