Client Certificates

Hi all,

We're starting to issue client certificates for authentication and are
looking for best practices for certificate lifecycle management. We would
like to automate certificate issuance using SCEP with the InCommon version
of Sectigo to support authentication to WiFi. (Since our focus is on using
certificates for authentication, not encryption, we are not very concerned
about the key recovery piece).

Any tips, lessons learned, or best practices that anyone is willing to
share would be appreciated. Thanks!
