Hey Issac,

both thumbs up for you. After reading your post I built a new CA, created a
new certificate, revoked it and create the CRl. Then I imported the
certificate of the CA and afterwards the CRL.

After a new start of Apache and Firefox I made my first try to access the
new site with the new (revoked) certificate and in deed Firefox told me that
the certificate was revoked. =) That is great and perhaps I’ll jump around
enjoying myself for a few minutes.

But that leads me to another problem. Back to my old scenario: Why does the
trust remain forever although the certificate was revoked? I would expect
that it is possible to trust a certificate and to alter my opinion when it
gets revoked …

Am I wrong? Have you got or anybody else out there an answer to this
question?

best regards domi
