SCEP Configuration

Enrollment URL

Enter the URL where the VPN 3002 should send SCEP enrollment requests made to this CA certificate. The default value of this field is the URL used to download this CA certificate.

Polling Interval

If the CA does not issue the certificate immediately (some CAs require manual verification of credentials and this can take time), the certificate request could enter polling mode. In polling mode, the VPN 3002 re-sends the certificate request to the CA over a specified period until the CA responds or the process times out.

Enter the number of minutes the VPN 3002 should wait between re-sends. The minimum number of minutes is 1; the maximum number of minutes is 60. The default value is 1.
