• Key Concepts: 
  CRL Distribution Point (CDP) is a feature of the SAP Security component that allows administrators to distribute Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) to clients. CRLs are lists of certificates that have been revoked by the issuing authority and are used to verify the validity of certificates. CDPs provide a secure way for administrators to distribute CRLs to clients, ensuring that clients are always up-to-date with the latest CRLs.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use CDP, administrators must first configure the CDP in the SAP Security component. This involves setting up a URL for the CDP, which will be used by clients to download the CRLs. Once the CDP is configured, administrators can then upload the latest CRLs to the CDP. Clients will then be able to download the latest CRLs from the CDP.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the URL for the CDP is secure and cannot be accessed by unauthorized users. Additionally, administrators should regularly check that the latest CRLs are uploaded to the CDP in order to ensure that clients are always up-to-date with the latest CRLs.
