There was a discussion about the term factory reset, and what it means.
Specifically, whether the LDevID (domain certificate) is deleted.
The notes I have taken (from someone's mail) indicate:
type 1: erase all but LDevID - Device doesn’t need to re-enrol
type 2: erase all, including LDevID
While trying to work this into the reference draft, I'm getting less and
less comfortable with the sentiment of "two types of factory re-set".
Here my thinking:
- Factory reset brings a device back to the state it had when it left
the factory. This is very unambiguous, and clear. The device will keep
its IDevID and the LDevID will be deleted. (may be worth noting in the
reference draft though, to be sure).
- A process where the LDevID remains on the device in my view of the
world is therefore NOT a factory reset. I would call this "erase device
configuration except the LDevID".
I therefore suggest to use / define the term "factory reset" as per
first bullet above. And NOT define two types of factory reset. It just
feels wrong to me.
What am I missing? Why did we even need a term for the second? Can we
not just say "delete config, but leave LDevID"?
