Fields

Enrollment Type—set to EST.

Enrollment URL—The URL of the CA server to which devices should attempt to enroll.

Use an HTTPS URL in the form of https://CA_name:port, where CA_name is the host DNS name or IP address of the CA server. The port number is mandatory.

Username—The username to access the CA server.

Password / Confirm Password—The password to access the CA server.

Fingerprint—When retrieving the CA certificate using EST, you may enter the fingerprint for the CA server. Using the fingerprint to verify the authenticity of the CA server’s certificate helps prevent an unauthorized party from substituting a fake certificate in place of the real one. Enter the Fingerprint for the CA server in hexadecimal format. If the value you enter does not match the fingerprint on the certificate, the certificate is rejected. Obtain the CA’s fingerprint by contacting the server directly.

Source Interface—The interface that interacts with the CA server. By default, the diagnostic interface is displayed. To configure a data interface as the source interface, choose the respective security zone or interface group object.

Ignore EST Server Certificate Validations—The EST server certificate validation is done by default. Check the check box if you want to ignore threat defense validating EST server certificate.
