CRL
A Certificate Revocation List (CRL) is a list of CA certificate subscribers paired with
certificate status information. Installed CRLs are displayed in the CRL list. The FortiGate
unit uses CRLs to ensure that the certificates belonging to CAs and remote clients are
valid.
To view installed CRLs, go to System > Certificates > CRL.
Figure 160: Certificate revocation list
Importing a certificate revocation list
Certificate revocation lists from CA web sites must be kept updated on a regular basis to
ensure that clients having revoked certificates cannot establish a connection with the
FortiGate unit. After you download a CRL from the CA web site, save the CRL on a
computer that has management access to the FortiGate unit.
To import a certificate revocation list, go to System > Certificates > CRL and select Import.
Import Import a CRL. For more information, see “Importing a certificate revocation list”
on page 309.

unique names (CRL_1, CRL_2, CRL_3, and so on) to certificate revocation lists
when they are imported.
