Mastering Endpoint Management using Microsoft Intune Suite
By :
In this chapter, we will understand the background, flow, and setup of Cloud PKI and get an overview of its practical implementation. The chapter begins by introducing the concept of digital certificates, detailing the authentication and authorization processes users undergo to access applications. The discussion then shifts to the advantages of Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA) over traditional username and password methods. A comparative analysis of SCEP and PKCS follows, outlining the strengths and limitations of each approach. The chapter then explores the conventional method of SCEP certificate delivery using on-premises NDES via Intune, providing a step-by-step breakdown of the process. This is contrasted with the modern Cloud PKI approach, emphasizing its benefits in terms of simplicity and manageability. Subsequently, the chapter presents a detailed walk-through of the SCEP certificate delivery flow using Cloud PKI, supported by logs and block diagrams at each stage. It also covers the setup process for Cloud PKI, including the various deployment models and available reporting options. Finally, the chapter examines the post-deployment phase of SCEP certificate issuance via Cloud PKI, explaining how the issued certificate can be utilized for CBA and outlining the associated connection flow.
By the end of this chapter, you will possess the knowledge and practical skills necessary to deploy Cloud PKI solutions, effectively troubleshoot existing implementations, and develop a comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in SCEP certificate delivery using Cloud PKI. Additionally, you will have gained insight into the configuration required to leverage client certificates for CBA.
