8.3. Adding a CRL to the Online Certificate Status Manager

If a situation arises when a Certificate Manager is unable to publish its CRL to the Online Certificate
Status Manager, it is possible to add a CRL manually to the Online Certificate Status Manager internal
database.
To add a CRL to the internal database:
1. Open the Certificate Manager's agent services page.
https://server.example.com:9444/ca/ee/ca
2. Click on Display Revocation List.
3. In the results page, select the desired CRL issuing point, select the option to display the CRL as
base 64 encoded, and click Display.
4. In the CRL details page, scroll to the Certificate revocation list base64 encoded section, which
shows the CRL in base-64 format.
5. Copy the base-64 encoded CRL, including the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REVOCATION
LIST----- and -----END CERTIFICATE REVOCATION LIST----- marker lines, to the
clipboard or a text file.
The CRL looks similar to the example:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REVOCATION LIST-----

7. In the left frame, click Add Certificate Revocation List.
