How can you revoke a certificate in OpenSSL?

What will be an ideal response?


Revocation is done by using the ca command with the -revoke option. The reason for revocation is inputted by using the -crl_reason option. The supported revocation reasons are unspecified, keyCompromise, CACompromise, affiliationChanged, superseded, cessationOfOperation, certificateHold, and removeFromCRL. The reason is case insensitive, and setting any revocation reason will make the CRL version 2, instead of version 1, by default. When a certificate is revoked, the CA or RA will update the internal database implemented using the index.txt.
