titleHandle certificates on hold

Once a certificate hold has been issued, you can handle it in one of the following ways:

  • Let the certificate remain on the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) with no further action, causing users to reject transactions issued during the hold period.

OR

  • Let the certificate be replaced by a (final) revocation for the same certificate, in which case the reason shall be one of the standard reasons for revocation. The revocation date shall be the date when the certificate was placed on hold.

OR

  • Let the certificate be reinstated, that is, explicitly released and the entry removed from the CRL.
