Adapting Publication Points

To be more flexible use DNS names, pointing to the Sub-CA, the IIS web-server and an external web-server. To adapt the publication points, follow the steps below:

  • In certsrv, in the Explorer pane, click our SUBCA, then in the Action menu, click Properties
  • Click the Extensions tab and add the CRL distribution points for the SUBCA according the ROOTCA.
http://crl1.hsmdemo.test/CertData/<CaName><CRLNameSuffix><DeltaCRLAllowed>.crl
http://crl2.hsmdemo.test/CertData/<CaName><CRLNameSuffix><DeltaCRLAllowed>.crl
http://crl3.hsmdemo.test/CertData/<CaName><CRLNameSuffix><DeltaCRLAllowed>.crl
  • Also add a new location for AIA pointing to our domain controller with an optional setting as:
http://crl1.hsmdemo.test/CertData/<ServerDNSName>_<CaName><CertificateName>.crt 
http://crl3.hsmdemo.test/CertData/<ServerDNSName>_<CaName><CertificateName>.crt

  • Restart the AD CS service.
