## Note about Edge Devices

If you would like to use CA certificates with an Edge device, you must use the Device Provisioning Service. If you are to connect directly to the Azure IoT Hub from an Edge device, the supported methods of authentication are SAS and self-signed certificates. Leaf devices are the only devices currently supporting CA certificate authentication directly to IoT Hub.
To generate device certificates for the device running Edge itself, use the [Edge device using X.509 certificates](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/how-to-auto-provision-x509-certs) guide.

To generate device certificates for leaf devices that are connecting via an Edge gateway, see the instructions below.
