	string crlFile,
	string issuerCert,
	string issuerKeyFile,
	string password,
	string revokedCertList,
	string extensions,
	X509.Options options

[VB.NET]
Public Shared Function MakeCRL ( _
	crlFile As String, _

options
Type: X509.Options
Set as 0 to choose the default signature algorithm sha1WithRSAEncryption. To choose another signature algorithm, select one of the SigAlg_ options from X509.Options.

Return Value

If successful, the return value is zero; otherwise it returns a non-zero error code.

Remarks

This creates a version 1 CRL file with no extensions or cRLReason's. The parameter revokedCertList must be in the form serialNumber,revocationDate;serialNumber,revocationDate; .... The serialNumber must either be a positive decimal integer (e.g. 123) or the number in hex format preceded by #x (e.g. #x0102deadbeef). The revocation date must be in ISO date format (e.g. 2009-12-31T12:59:59Z). For example,

"1,2007-12-31; 2, 2009-12-31T12:59:59Z; 66000,2066-01-01; #x0102deadbeef,2010-02-28T01:01:59"

By default, the lastUpdate time in the CRL is set to the time given by the system clock, and nextUpdate time is left empty. You can specify your own times using the lastUpdate and nextUpdate attributes in the extensions parameter. Times, if specified, must be in ISO 8601 format and are always interpreted as GMT times whether or not you add a "Z".
