Using Certificates
Certificates are used to authenticate users. Certificates are issued to you by various CAs
(Certification Authorities). These Certificates are called "Self Certificates".
Each CA also issues a certificate to itself. This Certificate is required in order to validate
communication with the CA. These certificates are called "Trusted Certificates."
The
Certificates
screen lists both the Trusted Certificate - the certificates of each CA itself -
and Self Certificates - the certificates issued to you.

CRLs
CRLs are only necessary if using Certificates.
CRL (Certificate Revocation List) files show Certificates which have been revoked, and are no
longer valid. Each CA issues their own CRLs.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to keep your CRLs up-to-date. You need to obtain the CRL for each
CA regularly. The "Next Update" field in the CRL shows when the next update will be avail-
able.
To add a New CRL
