Administering digital certificates

The administration of digital certificates in AS4 Microservice includes the modification of the validity period of the certificate (the period before it expires). You also can update the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) location that is used to validate the certificate.

The certificate authority (CA) publishes a CRL that contains a list of revoked certificates. CRLs are made publicly available so that anyone can verify whether a certificate that was used to sign a message is valid. The CRL ensures the integrity of the signatures, which are based on the expected level of trust that is associated with the type of certificate. In AS4 Microservice, you can remove lists of revoked certificates that you and your partners use to authenticate certificates.
