    Hi Tony,

    This may happen if your client isn't able to access the listed CRL or certificate revocation list. When a certificate is issued there is a CRL created in the backend. Client will then download this to make sure a certificate hasn't been revoked.

    Who issued the certificate are you able to post a screenshot of the cert? Are you having any external block / is the client updated as some CA lists get sent via updates.
