This article describes the support for the Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) protocol in Smart ID Certificate Manager via Protocol Gateway.Â
The Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) is a cryptographic protocol that describes an X.509 certificate management protocol targeting Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) clients that need to acquire key pairs, client certificates and associated Certification Authority (CA) certificates over https. Example of functions are initial certificate enrollment, certificate renewal, and CA rollover. EST is defined in RFC 7030. See also Example: EST configuration in Protocol Gateway.

The EST service is compliant with the EST specification and supports the following endpoints:Â
endpoint | Operation |
