Description
Specifies whether the rule is enabled or disabled. Check the box to enable
the rule. Uncheck the box to disable the rule (default).
• If you enable the rule and set the remaining parameters correctly, the
server sets the issuing distribution point extension in CRLs.
• If you disable the rule, the server does not add the extension to CRLs; it
ignores the values in the remaining fields.
Specifies whether the extension should be marked critical or noncritical in
CRLs issued by the server. Check the box if you want the server to mark
the extension critical (default). Uncheck the box if you want the server to
mark the extension noncritical.
Specifies the type (for example, URI) of the issuing distribution point.
Permissible values: By default, DirectoryName and URI.
• DirectoryName specifies that the type is an X.500 Directory Name
(that is, the CRL is stored in an X.500 directory).
• URI specifies that the type is a uniform resource indicator (this
provides a pointer to the location for the most current CRL issued by
this CA).
Example: URI
