  1. This scenario tests the <b>strictcrlpolicy=ifuri</b> option which enforces a
  2. strict CRL policy for a given CA if at least one OCSP or CRL URI is known
  3. for this CA at the time of the certificate trust path verification.
  4. On the gateway <b>moon</b> two different Intermediate CAs control the access
  5. to the hosts <b>alice</b> and <b>venus</b>. Access to <b>alice</b> is granted
  6. to users presenting a certificate issued by the Research CA whereas <b>venus</b>
  7. can only be reached with a certificate issued by the Sales CA.
  8. <p>
  9. The roadwarrior <b>carol</b> has a certificate from the Research CA which does not
  10. contain any URIs. Therefore a strict CRL policy is <b>not</b> enforced and the
  11. connection setup succeeds, although the certificate status is unknown.

  14. The roadwarrrior <b>dave</b> has a certificate from the Sales CA which contains
  15. a single OCSP URI but which is not resolvable. Thus because of the known URI
  16. a strict CRL policy is enforced and the unknown certificate status causes the
  17. connection setup to fail.
