    Hi!

    Maybe someone can help me with some strange issue with CRLs. What exactly means the following error?
    No IDP Intersection Base CRL.

    This is what my CRL file looks like:

    Certificate Revocation List (CRL):
    Version 2 (0x1)
    Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
    Issuer: /CN=MY CA/OU=MY Dep/O=My Org/C=XX

    You have an Issuing Distribution Point (IDP) in the CRL. Why di you have that? Are you trying to use CRL partitioning as defined in RFC5280?
    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-5.2.5

    Thank you Tomas!
    I had read this section of rfc5280 # section-5.2.5 many times, but was still confused. After the "CRL partitioning" you mentioned, things became much clearer and I even found the corresponding lines in the EJBCA documentation https://doc.primekey.com/ejbca/ejbca-operations/ejbca-ca-concept-guide/certificate-authority-overview / partitioned-crls
