the
certificateRevocationList;binary
attribute of the CA’s entry in the
directory.
1.
Go to the publishing directory.
2.
Locate the CA’s entry.
3.
Check the

You should find the CRL published.
Manually Updating Certificates and CRLs in a
Directory
Normally you do not need to manually update the directory with certificate-related
information; if configured properly, the Certificate Manager handles most of the
updates automatically. However, a situation might arise in which you need to
update the directory manually. For example, Directory Server might be down for a
while and be unable to receive changes from the Certificate Manager. In such a
situation, use the forms provided in the Certificate Manager Agent Services
interface to manually update the directory.
Certificate Manager’s publishing directory can be manually updated by a
Certificate Manager agent only. Agent operations are restricted to those with a
valid agent certificate; see “Agent’s Certificate for SSL Client Authentication” on
page 375. For complete details on agent operations, see CMS Agent’s Guide.
