Description

When provisioning a computer from an Android mobile phone:

- My computer provided a barcode, and some key words
- My phone provided a barcode, activated the camera, and offered some key words
- Neither offered any means by which to type in key words

Without a working camera, there was no way to provision the computer from the mobile phone.
Clients were 4.5 (on computer) and 4.6 (on phone).

Research direction

Reproduce provisioning between the computer client 4.5 and Android phone client 4.6 with the phone camera unavailable, using the barcode and key words described in the report. Done should mean the phone offers a way to enter the key words manually and can complete provisioning without a working camera.
