    Web services security is not honoring Certificate Revocation
    Lists (CRL) validation configured in Certificate Store
    Collections.  X509 certificates in SOAP messages that are
    revoked in the CRL are not being rejected by the system.
    
    Web services security processing was not calling
    setRevocationEnabled method on the PKIXBuilderParameters object
    when a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) was configured.
    Because of this, the Java security method used to validate the
    X509 certificate wasn't checking the revocation status of the
    certificate.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The web services security code was updated to call the
    setRevocationEnabled method on the PKIXBuilderParameters object
    when one or more Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL) are
    configured
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fixpack 6.0.2.31 and 6.1.0.19.  Please refer to the Recommended
