To manually update the CRL information in the directory:
1.
Go to the Certificate Manager Agent Services page.
You must submit the proper client certificate to get access to this page.
2.
Select Update Revocation List.
The Update Certificate Revocation List page appears.
3.
From the Signature algorithm drop-down list, select the appropriate signature
algorithm.
4.
Click Update.
The Certificate Manager starts updating the directory with the CRL in its
internal database. In some circumstances, for example, if the CRL is large,
updating the directory may take considerable time. During this period, any
changes made to the CRL (for example, any new certificates revoked) may not
be included in the update.
When the directory is updated, the Certificate Manager will display a status
report. If the process gets interrupted for some reason, the server logs an error
message. Be sure to check logs if that happens.
