What is SCEP?

The Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) is a certificate management protocol that facilitates automatic certificate issuance. SCEP standardizes a certificate exchange with a CA by using a URL and a shared secret. Many certificate use cases, such as Mobile Device Management (MDM), use SCEP to enable the automatic enrollment of laptops, tablets, smartphones, and many other mobile devices.

Integration overview

This document covers the following steps for integrating SCEP and the KMES Series 3:
  1. Create TLS certificates for the connection between the SCEP client and the KMES Series 3.
    1. Generate and sign the SCEP client certificate
    2. Generate and sign the SCEP server connection pair certificate
  2. SCEP Authentication Mechanisms.
    1. Username and password
    2. TLS certificate
  3. Test the SCEP client and the KMES Series 3 connection and authentication.
After you complete the preceding steps, SCEP transactions can occur. The process for configuring the TLS certificates in the SCEP client varies between the different SCEP clients. This guide describes the standardized process for registering the TLS certificates on the KMES Series 3.
