Knox Deployment Program
Last updated September 17th, 2025
The Knox Deployment Program (KDP) enables Samsung device resellers, including carriers and distributors, to manage device ownership on behalf of their enterprise customers. KDP serves as the backbone for Samsung Knox services — such as Knox Mobile Enrollment, Knox Configure, and others — by providing device metadata required by those services.
There are two ways to upload a device into the Samsung Knox cloud system:
- Using the KDP reseller portal
- Using the KDP API
You can use the KDP API to create an end-to-end device management console that serves as a single pane of glass for verifying and managing ownership of customer devices. For non-API options, see KDP console documentation on our partner portal.
The KDP API is RESTful. It requires a Samsung Knox authentication token to access, and returns JSON responses.
