CRL Overlap Confusion


confusion.....

is required have crl overlap periods set; base and/or delta crls?
i think read default value 10% of crl period.  

i have customer's pki has following set.  not best practice?  should implement overlaps?  considering changing max-age setting on iis refresh client caches more frequently.

root ca:
crlperiodunits 1
crlperiod "years"
crldeltaperiodunits 0
crldeltaperiod "days"

issuing/policy ca:
crlperiodunits 1
crlperiod "weeks"
crldeltaperiodunits 1
crldeltaperiod "days"

> required have crl overlap periods set; base and/or delta crls?

this depends on network configuration. overlap settings used resolve ad/dfs replication latency. if crls published ad there may replication latency while cdp container or dfs share replicated endpoints. value of latency may vary several hours.

no, isn't correct.

for additional information please check following link: http://blogs.technet.com/pki/archive/2008/06/05/how-effectivedate-thisupdate-nextupdate-and-nextcrlpublish-are-calculated.aspx

you can implement base crl overlap root ca 2 weeks value. means when ca issue new crl, have 2 weeks distribute new crl crl distribution points. online cas can set overlap 1 day base crl.
