9 Managing endpoint identification
Endpoint identification maintains endpoint information (including vendor, type, and OS) to identify
different endpoint devices. The endpoint information helps manage access scenarios and perform
transparent authentication on smart endpoint devices.
UAM supports different resource types for endpoint identification. When features of an endpoint device
match more than one resource type, the resource type that has the highest priority takes effect. The
resource type priorities vary by identification tasks, as shown in Table 15 .
