CRL Monitor's Service Manager can be used to stop / start / restart the CRL Monitor for all registered CAs.  When the CRL polling settings are updated for a specific CA or if a new CA is registered these details need to be accepted by CRL Monitor, however it is not necessary to disrupt all existing CA polling. CRL Monitor provides the facility to stop / start / restart CRL polling for individual CAs by using the CRL Monitoring screen. This screen also displays the current CRL status for each active registered CA. To access this click on the CRL Monitoring link within CRL Monitor.
