Configuring a Certificate Manager to Publish Certificates and CRLs
Chapter 19 Setting Up LDAP Publishing 653
Since you already created a mapper for locating the CA’s entry (either in “Step A.
Modify the Default Mappers, Publishers, and Publishing Rules” on page 636 or in
“Creating a Mapper for the CA Certificate” on page 642), you can configure the
Certificate Manager to use that mapper to locate the CA’s entry for publishing the
CRL; you don’t need to create another mapper for publishing CRLs.
Step D. Create a Publisher for the CRL
Creating a publisher for the CRL involves creating an instance of the publisher
module that enables the Certificate Manager to publish the CRL to the correct
attribute in the CA’s directory entry. In the next step, described in “Step E. Create a
Publishing Rule for the CRL” on page 655, you specify the publisher you create
here.
For your convenience, during the installation of a Certificate Manager a publisher
named
LdapCrlPublisher
is automatically created for publishing CRLs. You don’t
need to create a new publisher if the default one still exists. In which case, you can
skip to the next step.
You should create a new publisher if the default
LdapCrlPublisher
instance has
been deleted:

In the navigation tree, click Publishers.
The right pane shows the Publishers Management tab, which lists configured
publisher instances.
