Auto-Enrollment Protocols

AppViewX CERT+ enables certificate auto-enrollment by automating all the steps involved, including CSR generation, domain ownership verification, certificate download, and provisioning, making the process efficient, scalable, and secure. AppViewX CERT+ supports all major auto-enrollment protocols including – ACME, EST, SCEP, CMP, WAEP, and Microsoft Intune. Automating certificate enrollment reduces human error, outages, and security compromises, while improving productivity.

Auto-enrollment protocols are standardized enrollment mechanisms accepted across a wide range of enterprise systems for device and application certificate enrollment. Systems leveraging Auto-enrollment protocols typically expect minimum to no admin intervention. Network devices such as routers-switches, DevOps tools, and Enterprise Mobility Management platforms are typical examples of such systems.If the deployment mode is

SaaS, deploying a cloud connector enables auto-enrollment.
On-prem installations without cloud connectors, users should provide the AppViewX host information, which includes the IP address and port of the URL or endpoint. If their devices support auto-enrollment to a public URL, auto-enrollment is available as part of the tenant, and configuration details are provided in the documentation.

The cloud connector is advised for DMZ-based deployments or for enrollment through your cloud connector. This is especially useful in scenarios where endpoints cannot communicate with a public URL for auto-enrollment through a private channel, necessitating the use of the cloud connector.
