Registration Manager Agent Services - Netscape MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 4.5 - AGENT GUIDE Manual

• Revoke certificates.
If a user's key has been compromised, you need to revoke the user's certificate
to ensure that the key is not misused. You may also need to revoke the
certificates of users who have left the organization. You can use Certificate
Manager Agent Services to find and revoke a specific certificate or a set of
certificates. Users can also revoke their own certificates. See "Revoking
Certificates" on page 53.
• Update the CRL.
The Certificate Manager maintains a public list of certificates that have been
revoked, called the certificate revocation list (CRL). The list is usually
maintained automatically, but you may sometimes need to use the Certificate
Manager Agent Services page to update the list manually. See "Updating the
CRL" on page 58.
• Publish certificates to a directory.
You can set up Certificate Management System to publish certificates and lists
of revoked certificates in an LDAP directory. Certificate information is usually
published automatically, but you may sometimes need to use the Certificate
Manager Agent Services page to update the directory manually. See Chapter 4,
"Publishing to a Directory"
