Certificate revocation list collection

Use this page to determine the location of the certificate revocation lists (CRL) known to WebSphere® Application Server. The Application Server checks the CRLs to determine the validity of the client certificate. A certificate that is found in a certificate revocation list might not be expired, but is no longer trusted by the certificate authority (CA) that issued the certificate. The CA might add the certificate to the certificate revocation list if it believes that the client authority is compromised.
