Abstract
A system, method, computer program product and apparatus provide an improvement to administration and management of security certificates in enterprise scale networks. An exemplary embodiment integrates a network device manager (NDM) with Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) for administration and management of network equipment and for handling certificates for enterprise-scale implementation. The network device manager may control the settings and is configured to communicate with the firmware of end devices. The SCEP thus has a medium in the network device manager through which the SCEP features can be communicated to the end devices. In an exemplary embodiment, aspects of the system may for example, automatically check expiration of and renew certificates that are expiring.
