Hi, I have a problem with P12 within an iOS ecosystem:
CONTEXT
Company is currently updating the WiFi infrastructure and new requirement is that each device has to have installed certificate / profile in order to be able to connect to it.
We already have an app that manages various certificates and other services within a company so the decision is to implement the flow within the existing app.
SOLUTION
I have implemented the first 2 points without issue, but I’m stuck for quite some time on the 3rd one.
I create p12 file using OpenSSL (and store the file on disk), but I’m basically unable to do anything with it (openURL throws exception that application cannot open file scheme, SecPKCS12Import, ...). I’m a little bit skeptical whether this solution will ever work.
Could anyone please give me an opinion on this?
Thank you!

SOLUTION
Application generates a key pair and sends the public key to CA.
CA creates the certificate and signs it with provided public key.
Application receives signed certificate and creates p12 (from certificate and private key) that will be imported as profiles in iOS.

can the solution ever work?
is there any other API that I missed?
Thank you!
