RE: Help Sought on Netscape Revocation URL causing MS Programs to hang

I will pass on the job offer, but have you verified that the URLs are
valid that are listed in the certificate?  If the URLs are no longer
valid or cannot be reached, that might explain the behaviour.  If you
want to send me the certificate chain (privately), we can take a look at
it.

Subject: Help Sought on Netscape Revocation URL causing MS Programs to
hang


Hi Folks

If an X.509 v3 certificate contains a proprietary NetscapeRevocationURL
extension and a Microsoft program (eg email or browser) is configured to
do automatic CRL Distribution Point Checking, then the Microsoft program
will hang and timeout after about 5 minutes.

Does anybody know of a fix for this problem, e.g. a registry
configuration (no cynicism please!)?

We are aware that if a cert has both the NetscapeRevocationURL and CRL
Distribution Point extensions, then no problem.

Your help would be greatly appreciated (and maybe you can get a job at
Baycorp!).

Very best regards

Ron
