Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Fetching

CMC using the browser or with a command line interface such as remote RACADM.

1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. Click Tools > Internet Options, and then click Advanced.
3. Go to the Security section, clear the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option, and then click OK.
