as know certificates need validated before being used, 1 of reasons why certificates need validated because revoked before they expire. certificate revocation list (crl) provides way check revocation status, , url location revocation information certificates can viewed.

regarding cacertpublication urls setting, identifies url of authority information access point client can find ca certificate.

for offline root cas, need configure , publish crlpublication urls , cacertpublication urls virtual directory on server because root ca offline after configuration process, other clients have access urls on server necessary information.
