Configure OCSP Certificate Verification

  1. Access the cert-status-profile configuration element.
    ORACLE# configure terminal
    ORACLE(configure)# security
    ORACLE(security)# cert-status-profile
    ORACLE(cert-status-profile)#
  2. name—Provide a unique name for this profile.
  3. type—Select the certificate revocation check method.
    Available values are:
    • OCSP
    • CRL
  4. Specify either the IP address or the hostname of the CRL source.
    • ip-address—Specify the IP address of the CRL source.
    • host-name—Specify the hostname of the CRL source

    Note:

    If values are provided for both attributes, the OCSBC uses the IP address and ignores the host-name value.
  5. realm-id—Specify the realm used to transmit OCSP requests and receive OCSP responses.

    In the absence of an explicitly configured value, the OCSBC provides a default value of wancom0, specifying OCSP protocol transmissions across the wancom0 management interface.

  6. requester-cert—Specify the certificate used to sign requests.
    Ignore this attribute if requests are not signed. If a signed request is required by the OCSP responder, provide the name of the certificate configuration element that contains the certificate used to sign OCSP requests.
  7. responder-cert—Identifies the certificate used to validate signed OCSP response (a public key of the OCSP responder).

    Note:

    RFC 2560 requires that all OCSP responders digitally sign OCSP responses, and that OCSP requesters validate incoming signatures.
  8. retry-count—Specify the maximum number of times to retry an CRL source in the event of connection failure.
    The default is 1.
    • Min: 0
    • Max: 10
  9. dead-time—Specify the quarantine period imposed on an unavailable CRL source.
    The default is 0.
    • Min: 0
    • Max: 3600
  10. Type done to save your configuration.
  11. If necessary, configure additional cert-status-profile configuration elements.
