They are pre-populated in the Duo console when they are purchased & then you pick from a drop down list to assign it to 
the user under the Hardware Token setting for that user.

How is the serial number validated? Some sort of JavaScript code? User
entered?

How is the token's private identity and secret key obtained? Are they
configured through the browser somehow? Prepopulated in the Duo Admin
console?

We haven't opened up to allowing purchasing of Duo Hardware tokens that broadly (yet?), but even internally we have a 
home built web app that authenticates the user, validates the serial number, then calls the Duo Admin API to 
associate the token with the user, to allow self-service setup.

Subject: [SECURITY] Duo Hardware Token Enrollment Question

Greetings,

We are considering allowing our University Bookstore to purchase Duo Hardware Tokens in order to sell them to 
students who don't have (yes we have a few) or have lost/broken their mobile device(s).  I contacted Duo Technical 
Support & was informed there is no way for students to enroll the Duo Hardware Token themselves & that they would 
have to make the token purchase & then contact the Duo Admin to have the token added to their user account.  I was 
curious if anyone else allows students to purchase Duo Hardware Tokens at the bookstore or other store & if they have 
a better enrollment set up than what Duo told me.

Thank You,
Will Telfer, M.S.
