Blocking certificates, users or custom items
Certificates issued from a certificate authority cannot be revoked
in the same way as user certificates based on the username from the server. To
prevent users on your system from being able to trust and use specific custom
items or items signed by a specific certificate or user, it is possible to add
the item, certificate or user to the blocked list. This is done using the
block-code-trust
command. Blocked items or custom items
signed by a blocked certificate or user will never be executed.
About this task
When blocking a certificate or user, none of the items signed by that signer will be possible to use.
When an end user attempts to open an item that has been blocked (either because the signature is blocked, or because that specific item is blocked), the user will be informed that the item is blocked and will be unable to trust and use that item.
