docs: add Connect JumpCloud to Smallstep (Windows) - #553
Merged
Conversation
Covers the static SCEP enrollment path for a JumpCloud-managed Windows fleet: API key, platform connection, CA trust, the SCEP Profiles policy, and the command that writes the agent's registry configuration. Two JumpCloud specifics drive the shape of this guide. Its SCEP policy only substitutes device variables in Subject Name, so the device identifier rides in the common name (CN=%JumpCloudSystemID%) rather than a SAN. And the policy identifies the CA by SHA-1 thumbprint, which the console does not display, so the guide shows how to compute it from the intermediate. Windows only for now; macOS through JumpCloud is a follow-up.

CN=%JumpCloudSystemID%) rather than a SAN. Because the CN is then per-device, the agent'sCertificateregistry value is written by a Command that reads the local JumpCloudsystemKey, rather than being a fixed string.Also worth flagging in review: JumpCloud's Key Length field defaults to
1024, and the guide calls out setting it to2048.Not yet verified end to end
Written from the JumpCloud policy form and our existing Windows agent docs, but not yet run against a live device. The CA ThumbPrint choice (intermediate, matching what the Intune guide uses as the SCEP profile's "Root Certificate") is the step most worth confirming during the first enrollment.
Part of the JumpCloud integration: smallstep/protobufs#757.
