automatic certificate installation on samsung android enterprise device?

Hi @all,

we automatically issue client certificates for our WLAN authentication via SCEP. However, on Samsung's Android Enterprise devices (xCover 5 with Android 11), these certificates are only transferred and not installed. The certificates are only installed when a device password is set. 
Since the device password is unfortunately not an option, I am looking for a way to install the certificates automatically. 

Are there any ideas here?

Many thanks in advance

Ive tried to achieve the same, but all my efforts failed.

I think this is just how android works from a security perspective, to unlock the credential store there has to be atleas a pin set.

What you could do is if you are using a lockdown anyways to just set a standard pin on all devices i.e. "0000"

Hi Michael,

 

Thanks for your post.

You can follow the recommendation by John Doe.

One of the requirements for using SCEP for certificates is set a password. This is for security reasons. I would suggest you to contact your OEM or certificate authority and confirm with them.

 

While looking for more information about this topic I found this article that maybe informative for your case.

Hope this helps, please let us know any updates.

 

Regards.
