Create a SCEP profile

The required profile settings depend on the SCEP service configuration in your organization's environment and vary depending on whether the certificate is used by a
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app or by a specified device type.
You can use a variable in any text field to reference a value instead of specifying the actual value.
If you want to use a SCEP profile to distribute
OpenTrust
 client certificates to devices, you must apply a hotfix to your
OpenTrust
 software. For more information, contact your
OpenTrust
 support representative and reference support case SUPPORT-798.
