CRL Extension Reference
612 Netscape Certificate Management System Administrator’s Guide • February 2003
InvalidityDate
The
InvalidityDate
rule enables you to configure a Certificate Manager to set the
Invalidity Date Extension in CRL entries. The extension is a non-critical CRL entry
extension that is used to specify the date on which it is known or suspected that the
private key was compromised or that the certificate otherwise became invalid.
For general guidelines on setting the invalidity date extension in CRL entries, see
“invalidityDate” on page 740.
IssuerAlternativeName
The
IssuerAlternativeName
rule enables you to configure a Certificate Manager
to set the Issuer Alternative Name Extension in CRLs. This extension enables binding
of or associating alternative identities, such as a mail address, a DNS name, an IP
address, and a uniform resource indicator (URI), with the issuer of the CRL.
For general guidelines on setting the issuer alternative name extension in CRLs, see
“issuerAltName” on page 739.
