Hello,

I'm using sscep for linux client (ubuntu), I'm trying to enroll over https to NDES (ADCS) but I get this error:

sscep: illegal URL https://FQDN/certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll/pkiclient.exe?

I 'm using an SSL certificate in my NDES but I cannot find the reason of this issue.

SCEP is transported over HTTP, not HTTPS

How to implement SCEP over HTTPS?

I must agree with Martin's observation here, the design of the protocol is deliberate, where security is addressed at a message level, not the transport level. This bootstraps the need for, and secure delivery of your first certificate.

The question becomes more interesting in an HTTP/3 world, but we may be looking at alternative asymmetric key algorithms by then.

Thanks. As we know HTTP is not secure enough. Why don't replace it for HPPTS.

Because the SCEP RFC says so and it's stupid.
