title: Over-the-Air Profile Delivery for Mac OS X
body: <p>I have an interesting question to ask. </p>
  
  <p>We are testing a SCEP service for MAC OS X not iOS  and I know that iOS devices already have an embedded application for Over-the-Air Profile delivery whereby a certificate can be retrieve via SCEP  as per the following link </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/iPhoneOTAConfiguration/OTASecurity/OTASecurity.html" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/iPhoneOTAConfiguration/OTASecurity/OTASecurity.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I also know that on MAC OS X the same process can almost be replicated via a WIFI profile  whereby if the WIFI profile indicates that a cert is required prior to connecting to an WIFI EAP-TLS network , the cert gets fetched via SCEP.
  An example is explained here: <a href="http://www.ntsystems.it/post/Joining-WiFi-before-login-on-Mac-OS-X-108.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.ntsystems.it/post/Joining-WiFi-before-login-on-Mac-OS-X-108.aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>Now my question is the following, is it possible to retrieve a certificate via SCEP on a MAC OS X device as in the case of iOS over-the-air profile delivery; without necessarily having to connect to a WiFi network?</p>
