Definition

Determines the reaction of the system, when it is unable to obtain a certificate revocation list (CRL). Reasons the system cannot obtain a CRL are as follows:

  • The system attempted to download the CRL from the source, but was unable to do so; for example, a network failure.

    When this happens, the system records the failed access attempt in the database.

  • The system determines that there was a failed access attempt, as above, and the configured wait time for that issuer has not been exceeded yet.

    The wait time is a parameter of the source list. If the wait time has been exceeded, the system attempts to access the URL in the source list again.

  • The system must perform a certificate revocation check on a certificate, for which there is no entry for that issuer in the source list and there is no distribution point listed in the certificate itself.

For any of the situations above, the system returns the status UNKNOWN for the certificate revocation check. Whether the system accepts a certificate with the status UNKNOWN is controlled by the Strict parameter.

Use

Deselect the Strict check box for functions, where the certificate revocation check is not essential; where an occaisional network failure should not hinder your process. A strict profile interprets certificates with the status UNKNOWN as invalid.
