Manually Issuing Certificates with Microsoft Cloud PKI: Your Alternatives and Solutions

Do you need to manually issue certificates for specific scenarios, such as securing web servers, signing code, or other use cases? Unfortunately, Microsoft Cloud PKI does not support manual certificate issuance. By design, it only supports Intune managed devices.

Manually Issuing Certificates with Microsoft Cloud PKI: Your Alternatives and Solutions

The Gap in Microsoft Cloud PKI

While Microsoft Cloud PKI excels at automating certificate issuance for Windows endpoints through Intune, it lacks key features for organizations needing manual control. Missing capabilities include:

  • Manual certificate issuance for unique use cases like server TLS/SSL, code signing, or non-Intune-managed devices.
  • Flexibility to issue certificates for custom configurations, legacy systems, or ad-hoc requests.
  • Support for diverse environments, including cross-platform needs or offline devices.

These limitations make it challenging for organizations to handle non-standard certificate requirements effectively.
