The Microsoft NDES server (which implements the SCEP server in ADCS) is known 
to immediately issue certificate to whatever client that is able to submit a 
roughly SCEP looking enrollment request.

In theory it should work - if the Google developers have implemented RFC 8894 
properly. We have seen SCEP client implementations whose developers claim that 
if it works with Microsoft NDES it should be sufficient. Some implementations 
do not handle "PENDING" responses properly, for example (as this is seemingly 
something that does never happen with MS ADCS).

I guess in the end you will have to try it out. Feel free to use our demo 
instance https://demo.openxpki.org <https://demo.openxpki.org/>

Login via "Test Accounts".

User "alice" is a normal user. 
User "rob" is a RA Operator.
Passwords are "openxpki".

Do not submit personal or sensitive data or anything that you don't want people 
to see publicly (neither via the GUI nor via the enrollment interface)

The SCEP URI of this system is http://demo.openxpki.org/scep/generic

Note that in contrast to Microsoft NDES, our SCEP server by default will not 
immediately issue certificates in an initial enrollment, you will have to 
approve these requests via the GUI before they get issued.
This is a policy setting that can be modified in the configuration (and will 
have to be crafted specifically to support a use case like yours).

Cheers

Martin
