Certificates for nRF Cloud

[nikolays]

Where can I obtain the security certificates (e.g., client certificate/private key) needed for TLS authentication with nRF Cloud?
- Are these generated during device onboarding, or must they be pre-provisioned?

I completed the first step

Updating the nRF Cloud certificate

and registered my device (added JITP via the cellular monitor and registered the device in nRF Cloud).

links 2 and 3 contain a lot of information. Do I need to perform all the actions described there?

Is there a simpler and faster way to access nRF Cloud?

I need a connection to nRF Cloud to use AGPS data. I want to use AT commands to determine my location via AGPS and/or cellular methods.

Is there a simpler way to establish this connection?

"Device onboarding to nRF Cloud" describes different methods so you only need to follow one of them. You have followed JITP, so only the last paragraph is relevant for you. 

"Securely generating credentials for nRF91 Series devices" also describes different methods for generating the credentials (Python script, AT commands, computer). You choose one of the methods. The Managing credentials part of that documentation also has two options to choose from.

The available methods to connect to nRF Cloud are all documented. Like I said, there are alternatives for some of the steps.

JITP may be slow to connect the first time, and if you don't claim it in nRF Cloud it will not be faster on subsequent connections. Please make sure that you follow the documentation and claim your device in nRF Cloud.
