                                          boolean indirectCRL,
                                          boolean onlyContainsAttributeCerts)

      Constructor from given details.
      Parameters:
        `distributionPoint` - May contain an URI as pointer to most current CRL.
        `onlyContainsUserCerts` - Covers revocation information for end certificates.
        `onlyContainsCACerts` - Covers revocation information for CA certificates.
        `onlySomeReasons` - Which revocation reasons does this point cover.
        `indirectCRL` - If `true` then the CRL contains revocation information about certificates issued by other CAs.
        `onlyContainsAttributeCerts` - Covers revocation information for attribute certificates.
