Abstract

Disclosed are approaches for distributing credentials using derived credentials, such as by relaying a simple certificate enrollment protocol (SCEP) payload. A computing device configures a device profile corresponding to a client device. The device profile can include a SCEP payload. The computing device later receives an override for the SCEP payload from a broker service. In response, the computing device creates a copy of the device profile that includes the override for the SCEP payload. The computing device then sends the copy of the device profile to the client device.
