If a situation arises when a Certificate Manager is unable to publish its CRL to the OCSP, it is possible to add a CRL manually to the OCSP internal database.
To add a CRL to the internal database, do the following:
Open the Certificate Manager's agent services page.
https://server.example.com:9443/ca/agent/ca
In the results page, select the desired CRL issuing point, select the option to display the CRL as base-64, and click Display.
In the CRL details page, scroll to the Certificate revocation list base64 encoded section, which shows the CRL in base-64 format.
Copy the base-64 encoded CRL, including the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REVOCATION LIST----- and -----END CERTIFICATE REVOCATION LIST----- marker lines, to the clipboard or a text file.
The CRL looks similar to the example:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REVOCATION LIST----- MIHiMIGNAgEBMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMEsxGDAWBgNVBAoTD0RvbWFpbiBTcG9v bmJveTEPMA0GA1UECxMGMTAyNnNiMR4wHAYDVQQDExVDZXJ0aWZpY2F0ZSBBdXRo b3JpdHkXDTA2MTExMzE4MDM0MFoXDTA2MTExMzIyMDM0MFqgDjAMMAoGA1UdFAQD AgFeMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAA0EAlbdl7bPD5yLpBwKkSXeSA1fa8M2TiqNynRS1 B5zDGGAamOBdnKVMEBPEXFsTzk92rjbL0J0KjoMYicTEGO1wKA== -----END CERTIFICATE REVOCATION LIST-----
Open the OCSP's agent services page.
https://server.example.com:11443/ocsp/agent/ocsp
In the resulting form, paste the encoded CRL inside the Base 64 encoded certificate revocation list (including the header and footer) text area.
