Hi Dave,

the problem with using this approach is that most applications do not
recognize the extensions in CRLs properly... therefore once they have
the CRL, they will think the certificate is revoked.. not suspended.

AFAIK, removefromCRL reason code should be used only in DeltaCRLs
prior removing the certificate from the revoked list. I am not sure
which software really supports this feature. OpenCA does not support
delta CRLs... so, don't use it :D

I noticed that there's no command to restore a certificate status back
to VALID... I will add a new command for the next release so that it
will be possible to restore a certificate's status.

Cheers,
Max

Hi all,

I have a person for which I want to revoke their certificate which
reason code "on hold". (This person will be on long-term layoff but
probably will return in several months). There is supposed to be a way
in which I can restore this certificate to an active state (e.g. remove
it from the CRL). I see there is a reason code "removefromCRL" but I
don't see how to use it.
