Now I found a very good PKI free software, I try to use it everywhere I need certificates. My first difficult task was with IOS. You can find here some notes.

Here my IOS config related to my CA :

!
crypto ca trustpoint FMSCA
 enrollment url http://pki.intranet.fimasys.fr:8080/ejbca/publicweb/apply/scep
 serial-number
 source interface Ethernet0
 auto-enroll regenerate
!

Description / Notes

• The enrollment line tell how (the method, here an url → http) to contact the PKI software. Note: you must omit the pkiclient.exe filename at the end which is automagically add by IOS.
• serial-number tell to IOS to include the serial number
• The name of the trustpoint you use MUST MATCH exactly the shortname of your CA in ejbca

One you have that, use the command :

# crypto ca authenticate FMSCA

to fetch the CA certificate. Then, set the password enrollment with the command :

# crypto ca enroll FMSCA

Then, login to EJBCA, and create a new entity profile looks like :

Check your ejbca logs, you shoud see something like :

ERROR [PKCS10RequestMessage] No CN in DN: SN=12013150+unstructuredName=saroumane.nanthrax.net
ERROR [Log4jLogDevice] October 19, 2005 9:48:33 AM CEST, CAId : 0, CA, EVENT_ERROR_USERAUTHENTICATION, Administrator : PUBLICWEBUSER, IP Address : 192.168.134.1, User : 12013150, Certificate : No Certificate Involved, Comment : Got request for nonexisting user: 12013150

So, you know you must add an entity using the serial Number as username, the password you define in IOS, and serialNumber / unstructuredNamed as subject DN fields.
