The following enrollment method is also supported. However, migration to REST API is recommended: 

  • CM Web Services (CM WS) - SOAP-based web service interface used for certificate management in CM, with functionality to enroll, revoke, search and fetch certificates. 

SCEP

The SCEP support includes SCEP Intune and SCEP NDES.

Device authorization 

To control which devices can request certificates, authorization is required. Different enrollment protocols require different authorization. 

Certificate Manager allows different authorization rules for different protocols, by configuration of protocol handlers. The access to a protocol handler can be restricted to administrators that are CM Officers with the configured roles. The authorization condition can be specified as default for a protocol or per protocol handler.

For more information, see each protocol description.   

Device preregistration

For more information, see Device preregistration for automated enrollment.
