Certificate and CRL Reader Service
The Certificate and CRL Reader populates a VA with certificates and CRLs sent from a CA using the SCP Publisher. The data read consists of either complete revocation information (including the certificate), or only the issuer, serial number and status, depending on what has been published by the SCP Publisher. Upon successfully writing to the database, the certificate or CRL file will be removed automatically from the disk. If any error occurs, it will be left for future reads.
Note that the publishing CA's certificates need to be imported as External CAs prior to importing certificates in order to verify the signatures.
