CRLOverlap Question
"MarioC" <marioc[ at ]kapsch.net> 12/15/2008 2:35:19 PM
Hi,

Windows 2003 Certificate Services on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 Enterprise
Edition:

I want to publish a new CRL once an hour.
The CRL should be valid for 1 week.

The CRL publication interval is set to 1 hour.
CRLPeriod = Hours
CRLPeriodUnits = 1

The CRLOverlap interval is set to 1 week.
CRLOverlapPeriod = Weeks
CRLOverlapUnits = 1


However, the "CRL Next publish" setting is set to currenttime+CRL
publication interval+10min which is ok.
The "CRL next update" setting is set to currenttime+2 hours+20minutes which
is not ok.

Are there any restrictions, that a CRLOverlap interval can't be greater that
a specific value ?
If yes, is it possible to change that behavior ?

many thanks
mario

Hi Mario,
The CRL overlap validity period cannot be a value greater than the CRL
base validity period (shame) - if you configure it to be longer it
just gets trimmed to the same value as the base CRL.

thanks.
and there's really no way to change that behavior ?

Mario,
No workaround to my knowledge - I've often thought it'd be useful to
have much longer CRL overlaps.

Perhaps someone else could advise.
