This type of certificate is automatically renewed before it expires and can be used for purposes such as network authentication (e.g. IEEE 802.1x). This article shows how to configure SCEP certificate management in IGEL OS.

Menu path: Network > SCEP Client (NDES)





Manage certificates with SCEP

☑ Certificate management via SCEP Client (NDES) is enabled. 

☐ Certificate management via SCEP Client (NDES) is not enabled. (Default)



A Microsoft Windows Server (MSCEP, NDES) for example can serve as a queried counterpart (SCEP server and certification body). More information can be found at Microsoft, e.g. in the following Technet article: Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES) in Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS).
