Hi All,
I just started working on OCSP...
And I am trying to set up an OCSP responder using the OpenSSL CLI commands.
Right now, my index.txt file is blank and zero-size (created using the
"touch" command).
I want to know how to fill in revocation information into the index.txt
file, and in what format? (so that I can get a "BAD" OCSP response for
revoked certs).
Also, the zero-size index.txt file results in an "UNKNOWN" OCSP response all
the time.
What do I need to do so that my OCSP Responder returns a "GOOD" response for
those certs NOT in the revoked list??
My CRL is generated in *.pem X.509 format...How can I convert that into
revocation info stored inside index.txt file??
I request you to kindly clarify.
Regards,
Nagendra U M
