CRL configuration
-----------------
The Corda Network provides an endpoint serving an empty certificate revocation list for TLS-level certificates.
This is intended for deployments that do not provide a CRL infrastructure but still require strict CRL mode checking.
In order to use this, add the following to your configuration file:
.. parsed-literal::
tlsCertCrlDistPoint = "https://crl.cordaconnect.org/cordatls.crl"
tlsCertCrlIssuer = "C=US, L=New York, O=R3 HoldCo LLC, OU=Corda, CN=Corda Root CA"
This set-up ensures that the TLS-level certificates are embedded with the CRL distribution point referencing the CRL issued by R3.
In cases where a proprietary CRL infrastructure is provided those values need to be changed accordingly.
