Fields
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| X509 | 0 | This is the authentication model wherein a client uses X.509 certificates to authenticate its identity with IoT hub service. |
| SasIndividual | 1 | This is the authentication model where the SAS tokens generated for a client are scoped to the client identity. For example, myHub.azure-devices.net/devices/device1. |
| SasGrouped | 2 | This is the authentication model where the SAS tokens generated for a client are scoped to IoT hub level; for example, myHub.azure-devices.net This is generally not as secure as X.509 certificates or individually authenticated client authentication, as it opens up the IoT hub service instance to vulnerabilities in case the SAS tokens are compromised. |
