Cumulocity Identity API

Link external identifiers (IMEI, serial numbers, MAC addresses, ICCID, c8y_Serial, etc.) to Cumulocity managed object IDs. The Identity API is the primary lookup table used by device bootstrap, MQTT auto-registration, and any integration that needs to translate provider-specific IDs to Cumulocity IDs.
