4. Revoking Certificates
Only Certificate Manager agents can revoke certificates other than their own. A certificate must be revoked if one of the
following situations occurs:
•
The owner of the certificate has changed status and no longer has the right to use the certificate.
•
The private key of a certificate owner has been compromised.
These two reasons are not the only ones why a certificate would need revoked; other reasons are mentioned in Section 4.2,
"Revoking One or More Certificates".
To revoke one or more certificates, search for the certificates to revoke using the Revoke Certificates button. While the
search is similar to the one through the Search for Certificates form, the Search Results form returned by this search of-
fers the option of revoking one or all of the returned certificates.
