If the responder root CA is set to be trusted for OCSP signing then it can be
used to sign OCSP responses for any certificate (aka a global responder). This
comes under:

    1. Matches a local configuration of OCSP signing authority for the
    certificate in question

or alternatively:

    Additional acceptance or rejection criteria may apply to either the
    response itself or to the certificate used to validate the signature
    on the response.

from RFC2560 et al.

If the -no_explicit flag is set or OCSP_NOEXPLICIT is set then this behaviour
is disabled.


Do I understand it correctly then that "a local configuration of OCSP signing authority" here means that it is a deliberate choice inside OpenSSL itself to look for the OCSPSigning flag in the extended key usage of the root CA, although RFC 2560 does not say so?
