Step H. Revoke the Certificate

To revoke the certificate you issued:
Go to the end-entity interface for the Certificate Manager you configured (or to
1.
the Registration Manager that's connected to this Certificate Manager).
Be sure to go to the HTTPS interface. The URL is in this form:
https://<hostname>:<end_entity_HTTPS_port>
Select the Revocation tab.
2.
In the left frame, click User Certificate.
3.
The User Certificate Revocation form appears.
In the Revocation Reason section, select Unspecified and click Submit.
4.
The client shows the "Select a Certificate" dialog box and prompts you to
choose the certificate you want to revoke.
Select the certificate you downloaded and click OK.
5.
The Certificate Manager revokes the certificate and updates the certificate
status in its internal database.

Step I. Verify the Certificate in the Browser

To verify that the certificate has been revoked:
Open the Netscape Personal Security Manager interface.
1.
Select the Certificates tab and then click Mine.
2.
Select the certificate you revoked and click View.
3.
In the View Security Certificate dialog box that appears, look for a message
that says that the certificate could not be verified.

Step J. Check the Certificate Manager's OCSP Service Status Again

Check the Certificate Manager's OCSP-service status again to verify that these
things happened:
• The browser sent an OCSP query to the Certificate Manager (this response was
initiated when you clicked the View button).
• The Certificate Manager sent an OCSP response to the browser.
• The browser used that response to validate the certificate and informed you of
its status (that the certificate could not be verified).
