Certificate Revocation Status Monitoring
Next-Gen Trust Security automatically checks the revocation status of non-expired, public (DNS-resolvable) certificates every six hours using Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). These checks apply only to leaf and intermediate certificates that are stored in the Certificates inventory.
Important: Root certificates cannot be revoked and are not included in revocation status monitoring.
Manually Search a Certificate's Revocation Information
You can manually search and review the current revocation status of a certificate in Next-Gen Trust Security.
- Click Insights > Certificate Inventory > Certificates.
- On the Server tab, click a certificate name to open its details.You can also use filters to locate a specific certificate.
- Click the Revocation tab.
Understanding Certificate Revocation Information
The Revocation tab in the certificate details shows the certificate's revocation state as reported by the issuing CA, under Global Revocation. If someone requested revocation in Next-Gen Trust Security, Revocation Request Information shows the request's status, the requester, the comment, and any rejection reason. If there's nothing to show, the tab says No revocation information found.
The following table describes the Global Revocation fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Revocation Status | The current trust status of the certificate as reported by the issuing CA. Possible values: NOT_REVOKED (certificate is active and trusted), REVOKED (certificate has been revoked), UNKNOWN (revocation status could not be verified, for example if the CA endpoint is unreachable). In the inventory's Revocation Status column, these appear as Valid, Revoked, and Unavailable. |
| Revocation Date | The date and time when the certificate was officially revoked by the CA. |
| Revocation Reason | The reason provided by the issuing CA for revoking the certificate (for example, SUPERSEDED). |
