You realize that's literally just to fetch SSH keys, right? It's the authentication method so they don't have to provide a default password. It's not some sort of phone-home method.

I, like GP, noped out as soon as I saw the SSO requirement. I also noped out of Microsoft's /free/ embedded offing for the same reason.

I don't care why it's needed. I'm not interested in voluntarily tying my business to your product if you're going to restrict access to it this early on.

Yeah giving a third party the ability to control what ssh keys get provisioned on a machine isn't a big deal.</sarcasm>
