<p>Whenever you use or view a certificate stored by Certificate Manager, it takes several steps to verify the certificate. At a minimum, it confirms that the CA's digital signature on the certificate was created by a CA whose own certificate is (1) present in the Certificate Manager's list of available CA certificates and (2) marked as trusted for issuing the kind of certificate being verified.

<p>One way to combat this threat is for Certificate Manager to check a certificate revocation list (CRL) as part of the verification process (see <a href="#Managing_CRLs">Managing CRLs</a>, below). Typically, you download a CRL to your browser by clicking a link. If a CRL is present, Certificate Manager checks any certificate issued by the same CA against the list as part of the verification process.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The reliability of CRLs is subject to the frequency with which they are both updated by a server and checked by a client. You can configure your <a href="validation_help.html#auto_crl_update_prefs">Automatic CRL Update Preferences</a> so that a CRL will be updated automatically at regular intervals with the version currently on the server.

<h2>How Validation Works</h2>
|
||||
|

<p>Whenever you use or view a certificate stored by Certificate Manager, it takes several steps to verify the certificate. At a minimum, it confirms that the CA's digital signature on the certificate was created by a CA whose own certificate is (1) present in the Certificate Manager's list of available CA certificates and (2) marked as trusted for issuing the kind of certificate being verified.
|
||||
|

|
@ -419,7 +421,7 @@
|
|||
|
||||
<p>One way to combat this threat is for Certificate Manager to check a certificate revocation list (CRL) as part of the verification process (see <a href="#Managing_CRLs">Managing CRLs</a>, below). Typically, you download a CRL to your browser by clicking a link. If a CRL is present, Certificate Manager checks any certificate issued by the same CA against the list as part of the verification process.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The reliability of CRLs is subject to the frequency with which they are both updated by a server and checked by a client. You can configure your <a href="validation_help.html#auto_crl_update_prefs">Automatic CRL Update Preferences</a> so that a CRL will be updated automatically at regular intervals with the version currently on the server.

|

<p>Another way to combat the threat of compromised certificates is to use a special server that supports the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). Such a server can answer client queries about individual certificates (see <a href="#Configuring_Certificate_Manager_for_OCSP">Configuring OCSP</a>, below).
