To configure the device for online enrollment:

  1. Specify the CA profile—for example, wincs-5—and specify the CA location for your device to send the SCEP-based certificate enrollment requests. To specify the CA location by naming the CA URL, include the url statement. For example:
    user@host# set security pki ca-profile wincs-5 enrollment url http://10.155.8.1/certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll
  2. Using the request security pki local-certificate enroll command, start the online enrollment for the specified certificate ID. You must specify the CA profile name (for example, wincs-5), the certificate ID (for example, qqq), and the following information:

    Note: SCEP sends a PKCS-10 format certificate request enveloped in PKCS-7 format.

    The device certificate is obtained and the online enrollment begins for the certificate ID. The command is processed asynchronously.
