Computers

Please follow this guide to distribute certificates to computers (macOS). Before deploying the first certificates via Jamf, follow the general steps for Jamf first.

SCEPman Root Certificate

As first step you need to deploy SCEPman root certificate. Download this CA certificate via SCEPman dashboard:
Add a new "macOS Configuration Profile" and choose "Certificate" as payload. Enter a meaningful name, upload the certificate (for"Select Certificate Option" select "Upload)" and activate "Allow all apps access":
Distribute that profile to all clients that should get SCEP certificates later.
