How ManageEngine Works with SCEP

- Updated: October 10, 2026How Certificate distribution works in ManageEngine
ManageEngine’s cloud-based solution for endpoint management, uses SCEP to help with the distribution and management of digital certificates managed by ManageEngine. This allows you to issue personalized certificates for each device allowing you to do network authentication that is compliant with the most rigorous compliance requirements such as CMMC or ISO27001, and the best part is that it is not hard! You can watch the video below and it will guide you step by step through the whole setup.
What is the easiest way to create certificates in ManageEngine
The certificate creation process in ManageEngine begins with the system sending a challenge to the client device. Following this, the device generates a private key and a CSR which it sends along with the challenge to EZCA. EZCA then confirms the challenge matches the expected challenge for that request. Once EZCA validates the request, EZCA proceeds to create the certificate, which ManageEngine then installs on the device.
Utilizing ManageEngine SCEP combined with a cloud PKI such as EZCA, makes issuing certificates and securing your network a one day task vs the 3 weeks it used to take in back in the on-premise days. This integration facilitates centralized control, automation, and implementation of certificate policies across all ManageEngine managed devices. It streamlines the issuance and renewal of certificates on a broad scale, ensuring that devices are equipped with the necessary credentials for secure communication and authentication within the organization’s network.
In recent years, setting up a private PKI with EZCA has become markedly simpler and more straightforward. You can establish your own private CA in just a few minutes (our engineering team’s record is just under 5 minutes)! Don’t believe us?
