# CRL Profiles

A CRL is a Certificate Revocation List. When any certificate is issued, it has a validity period which is defined by the Certification Authority. Usually, this is one or two years. Any time a certificate is presented as part of an authentication dialog, the current time will be checked against the validity period.

The ‘CRL Profiles’ section enables CRL profile creation where the administrator can create a CRL profile that can be used by an Officer to create a Certificate Revocation List (CRL).

Post login, on the dashboard page, clicking on Manage profiles -> Certificate Profiles -> CRL profiles will display the below page
