I think the dogtag SCEP server might be difficult to use in automation.

It uses a flat authentication file consisting of the remote IP address
and PIN, probably making it difficult for mobile devices which don't use
static addresses. Creating some sort of middle-man service that updates
the file and returns the PIN to use would be a security target.
