CRL Property Page

This page lists the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Configuration objects associated with this Organizational CA. An Organizational CA can only use one CRL at a time; however, you can have multiple CRLs stored in eDirectory®. The CRL Configuration objects are stored in a CRL container.

A CRL lets the Organizational CA publish information about revoked certificates to the cryptography-enabled applications that use the certificates. You may revoke a certificate for several reasons (the private key is compromised, the CA is compromised, the user who the certificate is assigned to has left the company, a certificate is superseded by another certificate, the certificate no longer serves a purpose, etc).
