Simple definition
Microsoft Cloud PKI for Intune manages certificate authorities and certificate deployment for supported managed devices.
Purpose and use
Microsoft Cloud PKI, Public Key Infrastructure, provides managed certificate-authority capabilities for issuing certificates to Intune-supported devices.
How does it work?
Compatible profiles and authorities organize issuance and lifecycle, including certificate-based network authentication scenarios.
Example and verification
Before deployment, verify service-side trust chains, device profiles and behavior during renewal or revocation.
Points to watch
Issuing a certificate does not automatically configure every Wi-Fi or VPN server that must trust it. Licensing and platform prerequisites still need checking.
In short
Managed PKI simplifies selected components, while trust and lifecycle must work across the entire authentication path.
