Hi,

I am working on CRL validation on LONGHORN CA. My issue is to extract
the CDP for delta crl. I found a way to extract the delta crl name from
normal crl file. Is it correct?

Let me explain you clearly:

I found that the delta crl name format in LONGHORN CA is some thing
like...

Normal CRL: something.crl
Delta CRL: something+.crl. At the some location of normal crl.

Since I already got the CRL, I can derive the delta crl(something+.crl)
file name from that and will do the further processing. Is it correct?

Will it be fine? If not, Could any body let me know the procedure to
obtain the cdp for delta crl?
Please let me know.

Thanks a lot,
-Suren


============================
Hi,
I am working on CRL validation.  I am using openssl 0.9.8b.

QUESTION: How to retrive the CDP for Delta CRL?

Procedure:
Delta CRLDP is a bit messy because it isn't yet supported by OpenSSL
directly.
However you can add the OID manually using OBJ_create() and alias the
extension to CRLDP and retrieve it that way.

Could you please elaborate the same?

Thousand Thanks
-Suren

The CRL reason code is easier. You can retrieve it from the relevant
X509_REVOKED structure using X509_REVOKED_get_ext_d2i().
