Verifying Certificates Without Crl Checking - HP FlexNetwork 10500 Series Security Configuration Manual

If no CRL repository is found after the selection process, the device obtains the CRL through SCEP.
In this scenario, the CA certificate and the local certificates must have been obtained.
When verifying the CA certificate of a PKI domain, the system needs to verify all the certificates in the
CA certificate chain of the domain. To ensure a successful certificate verification process, the device
must contain all the PKI domains to which the CA certificates in the certificate chain belong.
Each CA certificate contains an issuer field that identifies the parent CA that issued the certificate.
After identifying the parent certificate of a certificate, the system locates the PKI domains to which
the parent certificate belongs. If CRL checking is enabled for the domains, the system checks
whether or not the CA certificate has been revoked. The process continues until the root CA
certificate is reached. The system verifies that each CA certificate in the certificate chain is issued by
the named parent CA, starting from the root CA.
To verify certificates with CRL checking:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter PKI domain view.
3. (Optional.) Specify the URL
of the CRL repository.
4. Enable CRL checking.
5. Return to system view.
6. Obtain the CA certificate.
7. (Optional.) Obtain the CRL
and save it locally.
8. Manually verify the validity
of the certificates.
