Hi, We had a discussion about this today. The final conclusion is to have a pass through from MDM to SCEP server. Every request goes to SCEP server needs to be go via the MDM interface. Hence it will be easy to validate the request from MDM using a one time password.
Initially we agreed to have a separate web app (I had an offline discussion with Azeez) to hold the SCEP implementation together with the CA implementation. Now after the discussion with Prabath we were encouraged to have the SCEP functionality within the Identify server. Therefore SCEP and CA will be developed as totally independent components. By default MDM will use the IS provided SCEP and CA implementations. If anyone needs to point to any 3rd party SCEP servers or CAs its only a matter of changing the necessary configurations in the MDM. For the implementation we may use jscep [1] which is MIT and Creative commons 3.
