• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STRUSTCR004 - Error while updating CRL; URL missing from source list of profile ?

  The SAP error message STRUSTCR004 indicates that there is an issue with the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) update process. Specifically, it means that the URL required to fetch the CRL is missing from the source list of the SSL profile in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing CRL URL: The URL for the CRL is not defined in the SSL profile configuration.
  Incorrect SSL Profile Configuration: The SSL profile may not be set up correctly, leading to the inability to fetch the CRL.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing access to the CRL URL.
  Expired or Invalid CRL: The CRL may be expired or invalid, but this is less likely to trigger this specific error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the STRUSTCR004 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check SSL Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction STRUST in the SAP GUI.
  Navigate to the "SSL Client (Standard)" or the relevant SSL profile.
  Ensure that the CRL URL is correctly defined in the "Source List" section. If it is missing, you will need to add it.
  
  
  
  Add CRL URL:
  
  In the SSL profile, click on the "Add" button to include a new source.
  Enter the URL for the CRL. This URL should point to a valid CRL file that can be accessed by the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Test Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that the SAP system can reach the CRL URL. You can test this by trying to access the URL from the server where the SAP system is running.
  Check for any firewall or proxy settings that might be blocking access to the CRL URL.
  
  
  
  Update CRL Manually (if necessary):
  
  If the automatic update continues to fail, you can manually download the CRL file from the URL and upload it to the SAP system using the STRUST transaction.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in Logs:
  
  Review the system logs for any additional error messages that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
