    See Supported Platforms for a complete list of supported platforms in PKI Services Manager.

Known Issues

Known issues you may encounter:

  • When PKI Services Manager tries to test a certificate from the PKI Services Manager Console using a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) file in the Local Store, it fails to load the CRL file and then displays a “CRL not found” error.

    This issue only occurs in the PKI Services Manager Console UI and does not prevent PKI Services Manager from properly performing revocation checking.

    Workaround: Certificates can be tested using the pki-client Command Line Utility by running: 

    java –jar pki-client.jar validate <options> or winpki validate    <certificate>

Updated Java Environments

PKI Services Manager installs its own Java environment and uses this by default. It is also possible to configure PKI Services Manager to use a different Java environment.

On Linux and Windows platforms, PKI Services Manager is now using Azul Zulu OpenJDK version 8u252.
