IssuingDistributionPoint Rule
294 Netscape Certificate Management System Plug-Ins Guide • May 2002
The configuration shown in Figure 7-8 specifies that the server should not set the
issuing point extension in CRLs.
Table 7-9 describes these parameters.
Table 7-9 Description of parameters defined in the IssuingDistributionPoint rule
Parameter Description
enable
Specifies whether the rule is enabled or disabled. Check the box to enable
the rule. Uncheck the box to disable the rule (default).
• If you enable the rule and set the remaining parameters correctly, the
server sets the issuing distribution point extension in CRLs.
• If you disable the rule, the server does not add the extension to CRLs; it
ignores the values in the remaining fields.
critical
Specifies whether the extension should be marked critical or noncritical in
CRLs issued by the server. Check the box if you want the server to mark
the extension critical (default). Uncheck the box if you want the server to
mark the extension noncritical.
pointType
Specifies the type (for example,
URI
) of the issuing distribution point.
Permissible values: By default,
DirectoryName
and
URI
.
•
DirectoryName
specifies that the type is an X.500 Directory Name
(that is, the CRL is stored in an X.500 directory).
• URI specifies that the type is a uniform resource indicator (this
provides a pointer to the location for the most current CRL issued by
this CA).
Example:
URI
