Certificate revocation is a process in which a certificate's usage is terminated before the validity period expires.


This section lists all the certificate revocation requests pertaining to a Virtual ID user. 


To revoke a certificate from the web portal:


  1. Navigate to the "Virtual ID" and click "Issued Certificates". 
  2. Click the button against the certificate that you want to revoke and click on "More Actions". 



  1. Certificate action screen will be displayed. Select "Revoke Certificate" from the drop down, select a reason for revocation, tick the confirmation checkbox and then click "Revoke". 



The certificate will be revoked and it will appear in the Revocation Requests listing. 


Second Factor Authentication 


If second factor authentication is enabled on revocation requests, the configured authentication mechanism will function accordingly. When a user clicks on the Rekey button, the authentication window will appear, and once it accepts the selected method, it will generate a certificate. 


The authentication mechanism can be one of the following:


  • SMS OTP Authentication 
  • Email OTP Authentication 
  • Email & SMS Authentication
  • SAML Authentication 
  • Active Directory Authentication 
  • Azure Active Directory Authentication
  • OIDC Authentication
