Dear openssl guru:

I am new in openssl. I have some questions regarding to 'CRL Distribution
Points extension'. I did read the RFC. but I am still confused about some
details. :-(.

a) a certificate has a 'CRL Distribution Points extension'. What's
configured in this extension is one and only one CRL or maybe multiple
CRL(s)?

b) the extension may have multiple CDP(s). Can each CDP have multiple
URI(s), such as a LDAP and a HTTP?

c) If the extension has multiple CDP(s), do those CDP(s) point to the same
CRL or different CRL?

d) Let's say I have a certificate which only have a DirName in its 'CRL
distribution points extension'. If I reserve the setting and replace slash
with comma, I can get an DN for ldap query, right?

Thanks and looking forward to any reply.

Best Regards
Jean
