ocspd.3(3) OpenCA Contributed Manual ocspd.3(3) NAME ocspd - OCSP Daemon SYNOPSIS ocspd [-d] [-p n] [-b address] [-c file] [-md digest] [-k passwd] [-i passin] [-e engine] [-r chroot_dir] [-v] DESCRIPTION The ocspd is an RFC2560 compliant Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responder. The responder is capable of answering complex OCSP requests and it can be used to verify the status of a certificate from OCSP clients. An example of a configuration file and a way to start and make requests to the responder can be found in the /etc/ocspd directory. OPTIONS -d detach the main process from the calling process. -p n specifies the port to bind to. Default is 2560. -b address specifies the IP address to bind to. Default behaviour is to listen to every IP available (equal to '*' value). -c file specifies the configuration file to be loaded. Default file loaded is /etc/ocspd/ocspd.xml. -md digest specifies the digest to be used when generating responses. Default is sha1. -k passwd specifies the password to be used when loading the private key. -i passin the key password source. For more information about the format of arg see the PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS section in openssl(1). -engine id specifying an engine (by it's unique id string) will cause the responder to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine, thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default for all available algorithms. -r chroot_dir Chroot the application into the specified directory. -v this prints extra details about the operations being performed. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+------------------------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+------------------------------------+ |Availability | library/security/ocsp/openca-ocspd | +---------------+------------------------------------+ |Stability | Pass-through volatile | +---------------+------------------------------------+ NOTES Actually not extensive testing has been carried out, anyway this daemon is reported to work with Mozilla/Netscape. To reload the certificate's db simply send a SIGHUP to the main process ( kill -s SIGHUP pid ).
