If CRL is used for certificate check, CRLs are automatically downloaded from a CA server
during each certificate check. To use CRL to check a certificate, perform the following
operations according to networking requirements:
–
Run:
cdp-url
cdp-url
A CRL distribution point (CDP) URL used to obtain the CRL issued by a CA is
configured.
Certificates issued by the CA contain the CDP information, specifying how and where
to obtain the CRL. A PKI entity uses the method specified in the CDP information to
download the CRL.
If the CDP URL is configured in the PKI domain, the PKI entity obtains the CRL from
the specified URL.
–
Run:
crl cache
The AR1200-S is configured to use the buffered CRL for certificate check, without
having to download the CRL from the CA.
–
Run:
crl update-period
hours
The interval at which a PKI entity downloads a CRL from a CRL storage server is
configured.
–
Run:
quit
Return to the system view.
–
If the PKI entity suspects that the CRL expires, run:
pki get-crl
pki-realm-name
The AR1200-S is configured to download the latest CRL from the CA.
l
To use OCSP for certificate check, perform the following operation:
–
Run:
ocsp-url
ocsp-url
The OCSP server's URL is configured.
This URL will override the OCSP server's address in the certificate.
