Importing a CRL (Certificate revocation list)

Importing a CRL (Certificate revocation list)

Certificate revocation list (CRL) is a list of certificates that have been revoked and are no longer usable. This list includes certificates that have expired, been stolen, or otherwise compromised. If your certificate is on this list, it will not be accepted. CRLs are maintained by the CA that issues the certificates and includes the date and time when the next CRL will be issued as well as a sequence number to help ensure you have the most current version of the CRL.

CRLs can be imported to FortiPAM.

  1. Go System > Certificates.
  2. From +Create/Import, select CRL.
