Enable SCEP - Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol in PKI Trust Manager
Modern SCEP Done Right: Configure & Enable SCEP in PKI Trust Manager (vs. Legacy NDES)
Tired of NDES complexity, security gaps, and management headaches? In this step-by-step tutorial, we configure and enable the modern SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) service within PKI Trust Manager, and show you exactly why it's a superior replacement for Microsoft's NDES for automated device certificate enrollment.
Move from a fragile, hard-to-secure legacy service to a cloud-native, policy-driven, and highly scalable certificate issuance engine.

🎯 Perfect For Modern Use Cases:
IoT Device Provisioning at scale
Network Infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls) automation
Mobile Device Management (MDM) integrations
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) client certificate issuance
DevOps/Cloud environments needing certificate automation
🚀 Key Advantages You'll Gain:
Unified Management: Manage SCEP alongside ACME, EST, and REST APIs in one console
Policy-Driven Issuance: Apply consistent policies across all enrollment methods
Modern Security: Eliminate legacy vulnerabilities and weak cryptography
Operational Simplicity: Reduce deployment time from days to hours
Cloud-Native: Run anywhere—on-premises, hybrid, or full cloud
⚠️ Migration Pro Tip:
Run both systems in parallel during migration. Use PKI Trust Manager SCEP for new deployments while gradually migrating existing NDES clients. The unified dashboard makes managing both environments easy during transition.
