Revoking Client Certificates and Renewing CRLs
Once you have chosen to create your own CA and issue client
certificates by yourself, the moment will come when a client
certificate you have issued may become invalid (for any reason,
either it was compromised, or client is not granted access any
more). There's a concept of certificate revocation list (CRL). CRL
is a list of certificates (their serial numbers) which have been
revoked, are no longer valid, and should not be relied on by any
system user.
This list may be empty or may be populated with some
certificates serials, anyway ClearBox needs this list. It may be
produced by Certificates Wizard:
Specify the password for your ca private key:
In order to revoke a certificate, select it from the list and
click Next. If only CRL should be renewed without
revoking any, don't select anything:
Finally, Certificates Wizard will create a new CRL and put it
into the server's folder.
