4.4. 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; there are six reasons
available for revoking a certificate.
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 offers the option of revoking one or all of the returned
certificates.
