Simplied Certicate Enrollment Protocol
Simplied Certicate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) was designed to be used in a closed network where all end-points are trusted. The
goal of SCEP is to support the secure issuance of certicates to network devices in a scalable manner. Within an enterprise domain,
it enables network devices that do not run with domain credentials to enroll for certicates from a Certication Authority (CA).
At the end of the transactions dened in this protocol, the network device has a private key and associated certicate that is issued
by a CA. Applications on the device may use the key and its associated certicate to interact with other entities on the network. The
most common usage of this certicate on a network device is to authenticate the device in an IPSec session.
ThinOS is treated as a network device. The functionality of ThinOS SCEP include manual certicate request, automatic certicate
request, and automatic renewal of certicate.
Requesting certicate manually
To request the certicate manually, do the following:
1. Go to System Tools → Certicates → Request Certicate.
The Request Certicate dialog box is displayed.
