If you want to retrieve the CRL from the certificate's CA to validate the revocation status of a certificate, you can follow this tutorial.

1. Open the certificate by double-click the certificate file name on a Windows computer. You see the "Certificate" window displayed.

2. Click "Details" tab. You see a list of certificate attributes.
