    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for securely distributing certificates or encryption keys. A management service can receive an enrollment request from a client device. The management service can then send a key request to a certificate provider, the key request comprising a user identifier. The management service can also send a skeleton payload to an enterprise gateway. In response, the management service can receive an encrypted profile from the enterprise gateway, the encrypted profile comprising the skeleton payload with an encryption key inserted by the enterprise gateway into the skeleton payload. Finally, the management service can send the encrypted profile to the client device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for resolving conflicts between workflows in a workflow processing system. A plurality of workflows stored in a workflow queue are evaluated to identify a common dependency of the plurality of workflows. Then, a version hierarchy is created for the common dependency of the plurality of workflows, the version hierarchy identifying multiple versions of the common dependency. In response to execution of a first one of the plurality of workflows stored in the workflow queue, the version hierarchy can be evaluated to identify the most recent version of the common dependency. Then, installation of the most recent version of the common dependency can be initiated.
