Understanding SCEP endpoints

SCM supports the enrollment and management of client and device certificates through the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP). The SCEP protocol is commonly used in Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems, such as Microsoft Intune, and networking hardware for certificate enrollment.

Access to SCEP endpoints is granted differently depending on the type of endpoint:

  • SCEP — Access is granted through accounts specifically created for each endpoint. These accounts are associated with specific organizations and departments in SCM.

  • Intune SCEP — Access is managed by connecting the Intune SCEP endpoint to an SCM Azure account during configuration.

For more information on SCEP, see What Is SCEP?, or SCEP RFC 8894.

SCEP enrollment endpoints can be managed on the SCEP page.
