For all SCEP-related protocols (SCEP, MDM-SCEP, and Intune-SCEP), Certificate Enrollment Gateway uses RA certificates to sign and encrypt SCEP PKI messages. In Entrust CA Gateway, for each Managed CA that will issue certificates for all SCEP-related protocols, you must create a profile for issuing RA certificates.

All profiles used for RA certificates must allow for Dual Usage (both Digital Signature and Key Encipherment). It is recommended that you use a Dual Usage certificate type that you created earlier for a SCEP-related protocol. For example, for the SCEP and Intune-SCEP protocols, you can use the SCEP Signing and Encryption (ent_scep_sig_enc) certificate type you created earlier for the SCEP and Intune-SCEP protocols in Adding certificate types to Security Manager for SCEP and Intune-SCEP enrollment).

When adding a profile to CA Gateway for issuing RA certificates:

  • The subject_builder_config field is not supported.
  • The subject-variable-requirements field is not supported.
  • The values of the cert_type (certificate type) and cert_definition (certificate definition) parameters must match the values specified in Security Manager.
  • The value of the create_ldap_entry parameter must be false.

For example:

- name: "SCEP RA"
unique_id: ent_scep_ra
properties:
cert_type: ent_scep_sig_enc
cert_definition: Dual Usage
user_type: Web Server
create_ldap_entry: false
