Manage revocation services

Revocation status is distributed through OCSP responses and CRLs.

Confirm that:

  • OCSP and CRL distribution services are enabled for CAs that require them.

  • Distribution point URLs published in certificates are reachable by relying parties.

  • CRL generation intervals meet your agency's freshness requirements.

  • Revocation of a certificate is reflected in OCSP and CRL output.

Include revocation service availability in your organization's monitoring and verify revocation propagation as part of incident response exercises.
