Configuring the certificate template on the SCEP server

Follow these steps to configure a certificate template on the SCEP server for use with MaaS360®.

1. Log on to the Microsoft SCEP server with the SCEP Admin credentials.
2. Open the Server Manager and select Tools > Certificate Authority. Select your Certificate Authority, right-click on Certificate Templates, and then click Manage.
   
3. Right-click Computer > Duplicate Template.
   
   Note:

   • Do not duplicate a user template. Microsoft SCEP does not work with user templates.
   • If your template is based on a user template, create a new template based on the computer template.
   • Devices do not differentiate between a certificate from a user template and a device template. All certificates are treated as user certificates on the iOS device.
4. From the Compatibility tab, select Windows Server 2016 as the minimum supported CA version. (Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 are reaching the end of support by Microsoft. For more information about the end of support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/windows-server-2012-r2-end-of-support.)
