Certificate preview

Ref_CertPreview_001

 

The Certificate Preview dialog displays detailed information about the selected certificate. In addition, each time the dialog is called, the respective certificate is validated and the corresponding result is displayed. This dialog can basically be called up wherever certificates are displayed in any form: For example, in the partner settings for OFTP2 partners under Security, in the program settings under Settings / !MC5 / Security / TSLs or under Settings / AS2 in the list of own certificates.

 

In the detail view, the following functions are available via the context menu:

 

Show validation protocol - Displays the detailed protocol of the validation of the certificate. If a certificate cannot be validated, this log can help to find the cause.

 

Copy to clipboard - Copies the selected entry to the Windows clipboard. Helpful for copying certificate fingerprints into emails, for example.

 

Open "[url]" - If the selected entry is a CRL Distribution Point, the contained URLs for Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) can be open directly in the system's default browser via the context menu. Useful to investigate possible problems when retrieving the revocation lists.
