As noted in the introduction, this process requires that you have an Enterprise Developer Account, and the `MDM CSR` option enabled under the *Certificates, IDs & Profiles* tab for *iOS*. Apple has a separate flow for the MDM vendor than the one for customers. For an in-house deployment without third parties, you must complete both the vendor and the customer process yourself. The `mdmctl mdmcert` command will help you with your APNS certificate needs.
