The OpenCA OCSP Responder is an RFC 2560 compliant OCSPD responder. It can be used to verify the status of a certificate using from OCSP clients (such as Mozilla/Netscape7).


The Responder is actually 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).

Actually not extensive testing has been carried out, anyway this daemon 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 openca mailing lists.
