existing policy can also be selected and edited as needed using the Edit icon.

Setting the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Configuration

Profile Security Configuration

A certificate revocation list (CRL) is a list of certificates that have been revoked or are no longer
valid. A certificate can be revoked if the certificate authority (CA) had improperly issued a
certificate, or if a private-key is compromised. The most common reason for revocation is the user
no longer being in sole possession of the private key.

To define a CRL configuration that can be applied to a profile:

1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.

2. Select Profiles from the Configuration tab.

3. Select Manage Profiles from the Configuration > Profiles menu.

4. Select Security.

5. Select Certificate Revocation.

Additionally, a certificate can be placed on hold for a defined period. If, for instance, a private
key was found and nobody had access to it, its status could be reinstated.
