Thank you for the information. The only reason for sharing the same variable for both file and directory is to avoid additional variable only for this reason. I'll post a new version where new GUC ssl_crl_path is added. By the way we can do the same thing on CA file/dir, but I personally think that the benefit from the specify-by-directory for CA files is far less than CRL files. So I'm not going to do this for CA files for now. regards. -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
