DIST_POINT_NAME Reference

Represents the ASN.1 DistributionPointName structure in RFC 2459.

It contains the DNs of a CRL distribution point and is used in two structures:

The DISTRIBUTION_POINT structure, which represents a certificate extension.
The ISSUING_DISTRIBUTION_POINT structure, which represents a CRL extension.

If DISTRIBUTION_POINT contains a distPointName value of type URI, then distPointName's value must point to the current CRL for the associated reasons. The reasons value is issued by the associated cRLIssuer. If the DISTRIBUTION_POINT omits reasons, the CRL must include revocations for all reasons. If the DISTRIBUTION_POINT omits cRLIssuer, the CRL must be issued by the CA that issued the certificate.
