Figure 4-8 Description of parameters defined in the CRLDistributionPointsExt module
The configuration shown in Figure 4-8 creates a policy rule named
CRLDistPtsExtForRouterCert
, which enforces a rule that the server should set
the CRL distribution point extension in router certificates; the CRL location is a
X.500 directory.
Table 4-8 gives details about each of these parameters.

Parameter Description
enable
Specifies whether the rule is enabled or disabled. Check the box to enable the rule
(default). Uncheck the box to disable the rule.
• If you enable the rule and set the remaining parameters correctly, the server adds
the CRL distribution points extension to certificates specified by the
predicate
parameter.
• If you disable the rule, the server does not add the extension to certificates; it
ignores the values in the remaining fields.
