The certificates can be provisioned directly to the target asset in an automated process via the API of the Workplace PKI, such as in the WCCE (Windows Client Certificate Enrollment), SCEP, or ACME protocols. MDM systems (Intune, MobileIron jamf, MobileIron, etc.) “mediate” in the certificate provisioning process, that is, they request the certificate from the PKI on behalf of the asset and provision it to the asset using the asset’s general purpose management mechanismsupport automated device onboarding certificate enrolment based on integration to Nexus’s CA, typically based on SCEP protocol. A virtual hosting and orchestration environment (hypervisor, Kubernetes) and a DevOps environment can create and destroy virtual resource instances in an automated and dynamic way. Especially in such an environment, only automated management of the certificates is feasible. The respective platform typically acts in a similar way as intermediary between the asset and the PKI.
