Hello @Soni, Rohitashav ,

you want to test creating an individual enrollment for a device using X509 certificates as security/identity.

You mention you need proxy support to have this working.

This means you want to execute this code somewhere outside Azure, probably on your development machine in a corporate environment.

It's good practice to have this code only executed WITHIN Azure, eg. in an Azure Function or as part of WebApp or LogicApp logic or inside a CICD pipeline.

This is mainly to prevent exposing/leaking service keys (like the DPS connection string you need) outside Azure.

Thanks for the quick replay @Sander van de Velde | MVP , and thanks for the suggestion as well, but our desired out come is to provide enrollment and provisioning form the development machine it self, we can't use Azure function or CI/CD pipeline for enrollment. The example is working fine without proxy but not working in proxy environment, so can you suggest a solution. Or can you please suggest a way to perform enrollment form API like suggested in the document : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/iot-dps/service/individual-enrollment/get we tried it with post but we got 504 error code.

Hello

I strongly recommend using the Device Provisionig Service for the enrollment of devices.

This way, the security is much better to control and it makes you more flexible towards the future (eg. moving to other IoT Hubs).

You can program access to the DPS using the REST API. For security, you need to generate a token first.

I have no example regarding DPS access. An IoT Hub example can be found here.
