Claim 9:
10. A certificate provisioning system, comprising:
at least one processor:
a memory communicatively coupled with the at least one processor and storing machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive, within a provisioning server and from a client device, a request message including a client identifier and a trust anchor list defining a current configuration of credentials installed on the client device;
retrieve a client target configuration from a configuration database based upon the client identifier;
compare each installed credential identifier of the trust anchor list with credentials defined within the client target configuration;
generate, when the comparison indicates differences, an action item set to include at least one action item for provisioning the client device, wherein the generated action item, when implemented at the client device, removes ones of the installed credential identifiers not matching the credentials defined within the client target configuration and install ones of the credentials defined within the client target configuration not matching any installed credential identifier;
generate a response message including a first action item of the action item set; and
send the response message to the client device.
