Cancel Certificate Status Registry entry

Specifies that certificates which have already been issued for a record are flagged as cancelled once a maintenance has been applied to the record.

When set, this entry flags certificates which have already been issued for a record as cancelled once a maintenance has been applied to the record. For instance, if this entry is defined and a change of name is applied, the status of all certificates issued in the old name will be set to Cancelled (it could be set to anything, but Cancelled is the most useful descriptor). This flag is relevant for Certificate Validation Service / System (CVS) requests. When a CVS request comes in, the status of the stock is checked before a response is given. If the status shows as Cancelled, a Failed response is returned.
