NAME

6               openca-ocspd - OCSP Daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       openca-ocspd [-d] [-p n] [-b address] [-c file] [-md digest] [-k
10       passwd] [-i passin] [-e engine] [-r chroot_dir] [-v]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The openca-ocspd is an RFC2560 compliant OCSPD responder. It can be
14       used to verify the status of a certificate using OCSP clients (such as
15       Mozilla/Netscape7).
16

OPTIONS

18       -d  detach the main process from the calling process.
19
20       -p n
21           specifies the port to bind to. Default is 2560.
22
23       -b address
24           specifies the IP address to bind to. Default behaviour is to listen
25           to every IP available (equal to '*' value).
26
27       -c file
28           specifies the configuration file to be loaded. Default file loaded
29           is /usr/local/etc/ocspd.conf.
30
31       -md digest
32           specifies the digest to be used when generating responses. Default
33           is sha1.
34
35       -k passwd
36           specifies the password to be used when loading the private key.
37
38       -i passin
39           the key password source. For more information about the format of
40           arg see the PASS PHRASE ARGUMENTS section in openssl(1).
41
42       -engine id
43           specifying an engine (by it's unique id string) will cause the
44           responder to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the speci‐
45           fied engine, thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then
46           be set as the default for all available algorithms.
47
48       -r chroot_dir
49           Chroot the application into the specified directory.
50
51       -v  this prints extra details about the operations being performed.
52

NOTES

54       Actually not extensive testing has been carried out, anyway this daemon
55       is reported to work with Mozilla/Netscape.
56
57       To reload the certificate's db simply send a SIGHUP to the main process
58       ( kill -s SIGHUP pid ).
