[Pki-devel] [Pki-users] Cannot revoke user certificate becouse of nonce

[John Magne]

Looks like the "reviewCert" sets off a chain of events that includes the nonce in the return data.
For some reason getCert does no such thing.

problem was using certClient.getCert() instead of certClient.reviewCert().
What is diffrence between those methods, and when use first and when
second? I check javadoc, nothing found.
