Challenge Type 

The challenge can be one of the following:


  • None - CMP server will not authenticate the device request with a challenge password.
  • Fixed - The device has requested the CMP server for a certificate (including a password challenge), the CMP server then validates the password and will issue this certificate. When "Fixed" is selected, the challenge password is used for each device request.
  • Random - The device has requested the CMP server for a certificate (including a password challenge), the CMP server then validates the password and will issue this certificate. When "Random" is selected, each request will contain a different challenge password.

When you select a challenge type, a URL will be generated. This URL is required when managing certificate using CMP, e.g [Server URL]/CMP.
