Update the status of X.509 certificate users

Using the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, a site administrator can update the status of an X.509 certificate user, to one of the following three status values: Valid, Revoked, Expired.

Valid

The user can access a secured WebSphere Commerce site with their certificate.

Revoked

The user cannot access the WebSphere Commerce site. When a revoked certificate user attempts to log on; they will get an X.509 certificate error page.

Expired

The user cannot access the WebSphere Commerce site. When an expired certificate user attempts to log on; they will get an X.509 certificate error page.

When administering X.509 certificates, you might also want to set restrictions and filtering parameters for certificate holders. For example, you may also want to allow certain types of certificate holders to access your secured site, by modifying the httpd.conf configuration file.

For more information and instructions, refer to your Web server documentation.
