HTTP proxy support for CRL download

From release 10.2.1.1 and later, Avaya Aura® supports HTTP proxy to download Certificate revocation lists (CRL). CRL download using a proxy eliminates the requirement for a direct connection to the Certificate Authority (CA), which can be a security risk.

This release supports the HTTP proxy type with basic authentication, which requires a username and password. Alternatively, customers can configure proxy support without authentication.

Customers can configure the frequency with which Avaya Aura® checks for updates to CRLs and downloads a new CRL. To enable this functionality, customers can configure a CRL download job.

System Manager and Session Manager use these configuration settings in tandem. So, it is important to understand the implications of these settings for Session Manager. For more information, see Administering Avaya Aura® System Manager and Administering Avaya Aura® Session Manager.
