• Key Concepts: 
  Certificate revocation check is a security feature in SAP BC-SEC Security that verifies the validity of digital certificates. It is used to ensure that the certificate has not been revoked or expired. The check is performed by connecting to a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) server, which contains a list of revoked certificates. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the certificate revocation check, you must first configure the CRL server in the SAP system. This can be done by entering the URL of the CRL server in the system settings. Once configured, the system will automatically perform a check whenever a digital certificate is used. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep the CRL server up-to-date in order for the certificate revocation check to be effective. Additionally, it is recommended to configure multiple CRL servers in order to ensure that the check is performed even if one of the servers is unavailable.
