[MS-CSRA] v46 was updated with CRL partitioning information which will be available with upcoming Windows update. Footnote <15> contains CRLPublicationURLs property syntax description with variables. However the variable table still missing variable identifier for <CRLPartitionIndex> variable in CDP URL. How we can control CRL partition index in URL?

Hello Vadim,

Unlike the other variable identifiers (%1, %2 etc), there is no variable identifier for <CRLPartitionIndex>. It is stored as-is in the registry and replaced during the preparation of extensions (CDP, IDP and Freshest CRL) that depend on this variable. The details of how it is replaced are provided in section 3.2.1.4.2.1.4.7 of [MS-WCCE], and 3.1.4.1.6 of [MS-CSRA].

Regards,
