  7. What are the CRL capabilities of the Enrollment Server for Web? (top)

    CRL checking is accomplished by accessing the Enrollment Server for Web with a browser and submitting a request for the status of a particular certificate. This feature is called “Certificate Finder”.

    In addition, certain browsers and Web servers can automatically check the revocation status of a certificate. The Enrollment Server for Web generates certificates that include the information that browsers and Web servers need to automatically perform CRL checks. Consult your browser or Web server documentation to determine if your browser or Web server can automatically check certificate revocation status.
