What impact does incorrect revocation information of a certification authority certificate have on the certification authority?

The following describes the effects on certification authority operation if the revocation information for one of the certification authority's certificates cannot be retrieved.

This case may also occur as planned, for example, when a previous certification authority hierarchy is to be decommissioned.

Case 1: The current certification authority certificate is affected

The certification authority always uses the latest, i.e. most recently installed, certification authority certificate to issue its certificates. If this certificate is affected, the certification authority refuses to start the service, but this can be circumvented under certain circumstances. More information can be found in the article "The certification authority service does not start and throws the error message "The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline. 0x80092013 (-2146885613 CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE)".„.

The Certification Authority will use the Event no. 100 log:

Active Directory Certificate Services did not start: Could not load or verify the current CA certificate.  ADCS Labor Issuing CA 3 The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline. 0x80092013 (-2146885613 CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE).

Case 2: A previous certification authority certificate is affected

If one of the previous certification authority certificates is affected, the certification authority service starts normally.

However, the Certification Authority will use the Event no. 48 log:

Revocation status for a certificate in the chain for CA certificate 2 for ADCS Labor Issuing CA 3 could not be verified because a server is currently unavailable.  The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline. 0x80092013 (-2146885613 CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE).
