Hi Christina,

Thanks for the reply. I will go through the attached email.

I had another question - I see that Doghat is supported on Fedora and RHEL. Is it possible to run Doghat on Ubuntu host? Has anyone tried it and any thoughts on how to make Doghat work on Ubuntu?


Thanks,
Abha

I have not played with it, at least not for a long long time, but you can try out the documentation pointed to from some past thread... see attached.

Regarding SCEP messages, we do not support fully, so the answer is
    no, not yet.

SCEP is disabled by default in CA, so you need to enable SCEP first:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Certificate_System/8.1/html/Admin_Guide/Enrolling_a_Certificate_in_a_Cisco_Router.html#enabling-scep

If you want to use SCEP with CA authentication, you need to enable 
FlatFileAuthentication plug-in:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Certificate_System/8.1/html/Admin_Guide/Automated_Enrollment.html#Flat_file_Authentication

If you want to use SCEP with RA authentication, you need to follow RA's 
UI to create one time pins for SCEP requests. RA is using SQLite as its 
repository so no need to create directory entries.

I would advise you to use SCEP with CA only as more improvements were 
provided in this area.

Thanks,
Andrew
