Not available yet as a CAS function, probably will be some day (not scheduled, 
but fairly high on my personal wishlist).

However you could (should) configure CRL at the level of the (http) connector 
at 
the Servlet Container. If you're using Tomcat, then I *think* it might be wise 
to switch to the APR for this.

I've been investigating OCSP too [Online Certificate Status Protocol]. It has 
some advantages over CRL (and disadvantages off course): OCSP adds a dependency 
but it should prevent anyone from having to configure a CRL update (which 
requires an ugly restart of the servlet container if you're using JAVA 
connectors).


Let's find the best solution together here... any suggestions?
