Project Description

Download OCSPD


Version is 1.5.1-rc1

The OpenCA OCSPD project is aimed to develop a robust and easy-to-install OCSP daemon. The server is developed as a stand-alone application and can be integrated into many different PKI solutions as it does not depend on specific database scheme. Furthermore it can be used as a responder for multiple CAs.

The OCSP Responder is an rfc2560 compliant OCSPD responder. The purpose of such a server is to provide an on-line tool to verify the status of a certificate (such as Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape7).

The Responder was included into the main OpenCA distribution package. It is also possible to install the daemon as a stand-alone application, all you will need is a CRL (or access to an LDAP server where to get the CRL from).

The software is reported to work with Mozilla/Netscape. If you have carried out some testing and want to discuss it with us, please just send an e-mail or subscribe the ocspd mailing lists.
