[Pki-users] Using SCEP

[Oleg Antonenko]

Hi!
I'm planning to evaluate Dogtag CA for issuing certs for mobile devices via SCEP.
But before plunging into full blown installation and tests I'd like to understand overall SCEP cert enrolment workflow supported by Dogtag.

>From the documentation on the web site I've figured out that it is possible to send SCEP requests either to RA or directly to CA.
As I understood in RA mode a user record with one-time PIN/Challenge has to be created in the 389 Directory first, and then a cert can be requested via SCEP.
Is that correct?

I did not get an impression that I have to do same when sending SCEP requests directly to CA. 
Does anyone know if I have to create a user record in the 389 DS before sending a SCEP request to CA directly?

Thanks in advance,
Oleg
