- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- The Online Certificate Status Protocol (\s-1OCSP\s0) enables applications to
- determine the (revocation) state of an identified certificate (\s-1RFC 2560\s0).
- .PP
- This command performs many common \s-1OCSP\s0 tasks. It can be used
- to print out requests and responses, create requests and send queries
- to an \s-1OCSP\s0 responder and behave like a mini \s-1OCSP\s0 server itself.
- .SH "OPTIONS"
- .IX Header "OPTIONS"
- This command operates as either a client or a server.
- The options are described below, divided into those two modes.
- .SS "\s-1OCSP\s0 Client Options"
- .IX Subsection "OCSP Client Options"
- .IP "\fB\-help\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-help"
- Print out a usage message.
- .IP "\fB\-out\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-out filename"
- specify output filename, default is standard output.
- .IP "\fB\-issuer\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-issuer filename"
- This specifies the current issuer certificate.
- The input can be in \s-1PEM, DER,\s0 or PKCS#12 format.
- .Sp
- This option can be used multiple times.
- This option \fB\s-1MUST\s0\fR come before any \fB\-cert\fR options.
- .IP "\fB\-cert\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-cert filename"
- Add the certificate \fIfilename\fR to the request.
- The input can be in \s-1PEM, DER,\s0 or PKCS#12 format.
- .Sp
- This option can be used multiple times.
- The issuer certificate is taken from the previous \fB\-issuer\fR option,
- or an error occurs if no issuer certificate is specified.
- .IP "\fB\-no_certs\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-no_certs"
- Don't include any certificates in signed request.
- .IP "\fB\-serial\fR \fInum\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-serial num"
- Same as the \fB\-cert\fR option except the certificate with serial number
- \&\fBnum\fR is added to the request. The serial number is interpreted as a
- decimal integer unless preceded by \f(CW\*(C`0x\*(C'\fR. Negative integers can also
- be specified by preceding the value by a \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR sign.
- .IP "\fB\-signer\fR \fIfilename\fR, \fB\-signkey\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-signer filename, -signkey filename"
- Sign the \s-1OCSP\s0 request using the certificate specified in the \fB\-signer\fR
- option and the private key specified by the \fB\-signkey\fR option.
- The input can be in \s-1PEM, DER,\s0 or PKCS#12 format.
- .Sp
- If the \fB\-signkey\fR option is not present then the private key is read
- from the same file as the certificate. If neither option is specified then
- the \s-1OCSP\s0 request is not signed.
- .IP "\fB\-sign_other\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-sign_other filename"
- Additional certificates to include in the signed request.
- The input can be in \s-1PEM, DER,\s0 or PKCS#12 format.
- .IP "\fB\-nonce\fR, \fB\-no_nonce\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-nonce, -no_nonce"
- Add an \s-1OCSP\s0 nonce extension to a request or disable \s-1OCSP\s0 nonce addition.
- Normally if an \s-1OCSP\s0 request is input using the \fB\-reqin\fR option no
- nonce is added: using the \fB\-nonce\fR option will force addition of a nonce.
- If an \s-1OCSP\s0 request is being created (using \fB\-cert\fR and \fB\-serial\fR options)
- a nonce is automatically added specifying \fB\-no_nonce\fR overrides this.
- .IP "\fB\-req_text\fR, \fB\-resp_text\fR, \fB\-text\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-req_text, -resp_text, -text"
- Print out the text form of the \s-1OCSP\s0 request, response or both respectively.
- .IP "\fB\-reqout\fR \fIfile\fR, \fB\-respout\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-reqout file, -respout file"
- Write out the \s-1DER\s0 encoded certificate request or response to \fIfile\fR.
- .IP "\fB\-reqin\fR \fIfile\fR, \fB\-respin\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-reqin file, -respin file"
- Read \s-1OCSP\s0 request or response file from \fIfile\fR. These option are ignored
- if \s-1OCSP\s0 request or response creation is implied by other options (for example
- with \fB\-serial\fR, \fB\-cert\fR and \fB\-host\fR options).
- .IP "\fB\-url\fR \fIresponder_url\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-url responder_url"
- Specify the responder host and optionally port and path via a \s-1URL.\s0
- Both \s-1HTTP\s0 and \s-1HTTPS\s0 (\s-1SSL/TLS\s0) URLs can be specified.
- The optional userinfo and fragment components are ignored.
- Any given query component is handled as part of the path component.
- For details, see the \fB\-host\fR and \fB\-path\fR options described next.
- .IP "\fB\-host\fR \fIhost\fR:\fIport\fR, \fB\-path\fR \fIpathname\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-host host:port, -path pathname"
- If the \fB\-host\fR option is present then the \s-1OCSP\s0 request is sent to the host
- \&\fIhost\fR on port \fIport\fR.
- The \fIhost\fR may be a domain name or an \s-1IP\s0 (v4 or v6) address,
- such as \f(CW127.0.0.1\fR or \f(CW\*(C`[::1]\*(C'\fR for localhost.
- The \fB\-path\fR option specifies the \s-1HTTP\s0 pathname to use or \*(L"/\*(R" by default.
- This is equivalent to specifying \fB\-url\fR with scheme
- http:// and the given \fIhost\fR, \fIport\fR, and optional \fIpathname\fR.
- .IP "\fB\-proxy\fR \fI[http[s]://][userinfo@]host[:port][/path]\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-proxy [http[s]://][userinfo@]host[:port][/path]"
- The \s-1HTTP\s0(S) proxy server to use for reaching the \s-1OCSP\s0 server unless \fB\-no_proxy\fR
- applies, see below.
- The proxy port defaults to 80 or 443 if the scheme is \f(CW\*(C`https\*(C'\fR; apart from that
- the optional \f(CW\*(C`http://\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`https://\*(C'\fR prefix is ignored,
- as well as any userinfo and path components.
- Defaults to the environment variable \f(CW\*(C`http_proxy\*(C'\fR if set, else \f(CW\*(C`HTTP_PROXY\*(C'\fR
- in case no \s-1TLS\s0 is used, otherwise \f(CW\*(C`https_proxy\*(C'\fR if set, else \f(CW\*(C`HTTPS_PROXY\*(C'\fR.
- .IP "\fB\-no_proxy\fR \fIaddresses\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-no_proxy addresses"
- List of \s-1IP\s0 addresses and/or \s-1DNS\s0 names of servers
- not to use an \s-1HTTP\s0(S) proxy for, separated by commas and/or whitespace
- (where in the latter case the whole argument must be enclosed in \*(L"...\*(R").
- Default is from the environment variable \f(CW\*(C`no_proxy\*(C'\fR if set, else \f(CW\*(C`NO_PROXY\*(C'\fR.
- .IP "\fB\-header\fR \fIname\fR=\fIvalue\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-header name=value"
- Adds the header \fIname\fR with the specified \fIvalue\fR to the \s-1OCSP\s0 request
- that is sent to the responder.
- This may be repeated.
- .IP "\fB\-timeout\fR \fIseconds\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-timeout seconds"
- Connection timeout to the \s-1OCSP\s0 responder in seconds.
- On \s-1POSIX\s0 systems, when running as an \s-1OCSP\s0 responder, this option also limits
- the time that the responder is willing to wait for the client request.
- This time is measured from the time the responder accepts the connection until
- the complete request is received.
- .IP "\fB\-verify_other\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-verify_other file"
- File or \s-1URI\s0 containing additional certificates to search
- when attempting to locate
- the \s-1OCSP\s0 response signing certificate. Some responders omit the actual signer's
- certificate from the response: this option can be used to supply the necessary
- certificate in such cases.
- The input can be in \s-1PEM, DER,\s0 or PKCS#12 format.
- .IP "\fB\-trust_other\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-trust_other"
- The certificates specified by the \fB\-verify_other\fR option should be explicitly
- trusted and no additional checks will be performed on them. This is useful
- when the complete responder certificate chain is not available or trusting a
- root \s-1CA\s0 is not appropriate.
- .IP "\fB\-VAfile\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-VAfile file"
- File or \s-1URI\s0 containing explicitly trusted responder certificates.
- Equivalent to the \fB\-verify_other\fR and \fB\-trust_other\fR options.
- The input can be in \s-1PEM, DER,\s0 or PKCS#12 format.
- .IP "\fB\-noverify\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-noverify"
- Don't attempt to verify the \s-1OCSP\s0 response signature or the nonce
- values. This option will normally only be used for debugging since it
- disables all verification of the responders certificate.
- .IP "\fB\-no_intern\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-no_intern"
- Ignore certificates contained in the \s-1OCSP\s0 response when searching for the
- signers certificate. With this option the signers certificate must be specified
- with either the \fB\-verify_other\fR or \fB\-VAfile\fR options.
- .IP "\fB\-no_signature_verify\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-no_signature_verify"
- Don't check the signature on the \s-1OCSP\s0 response. Since this option
- tolerates invalid signatures on \s-1OCSP\s0 responses it will normally only be
- used for testing purposes.
- .IP "\fB\-no_cert_verify\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-no_cert_verify"
- Don't verify the \s-1OCSP\s0 response signers certificate at all. Since this
- option allows the \s-1OCSP\s0 response to be signed by any certificate it should
- only be used for testing purposes.
- .IP "\fB\-no_chain\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-no_chain"
- Do not use certificates in the response as additional untrusted \s-1CA\s0
- certificates.
- .IP "\fB\-no_explicit\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-no_explicit"
- Do not explicitly trust the root \s-1CA\s0 if it is set to be trusted for \s-1OCSP\s0 signing.
- .IP "\fB\-no_cert_checks\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-no_cert_checks"
- Don't perform any additional checks on the \s-1OCSP\s0 response signers certificate.
- That is do not make any checks to see if the signers certificate is authorised
- to provide the necessary status information: as a result this option should
- only be used for testing purposes.
- .IP "\fB\-validity_period\fR \fInsec\fR, \fB\-status_age\fR \fIage\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-validity_period nsec, -status_age age"
- These options specify the range of times, in seconds, which will be tolerated
- in an \s-1OCSP\s0 response. Each certificate status response includes a \fBnotBefore\fR
- time and an optional \fBnotAfter\fR time. The current time should fall between
- these two values, but the interval between the two times may be only a few
- seconds. In practice the \s-1OCSP\s0 responder and clients clocks may not be precisely
- synchronised and so such a check may fail. To avoid this the
- \&\fB\-validity_period\fR option can be used to specify an acceptable error range in
- seconds, the default value is 5 minutes.
- .Sp
- If the \fBnotAfter\fR time is omitted from a response then this means that new
- status information is immediately available. In this case the age of the
- \&\fBnotBefore\fR field is checked to see it is not older than \fIage\fR seconds old.
- By default this additional check is not performed.
- .IP "\fB\-rcid\fR \fIdigest\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-rcid digest"
- This option sets the digest algorithm to use for certificate identification
- in the \s-1OCSP\s0 response. Any digest supported by the \fBopenssl\-dgst\fR\|(1) command can
- be used. The default is the same digest algorithm used in the request.
- .IP "\fB\-\f(BIdigest\fB\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-digest"
- This option sets digest algorithm to use for certificate identification in the
- \&\s-1OCSP\s0 request. Any digest supported by the OpenSSL \fBdgst\fR command can be used.
- The default is \s-1SHA\-1.\s0 This option may be used multiple times to specify the
- digest used by subsequent certificate identifiers.

- .SH "OCSP RESPONSE VERIFICATION"
- .IX Header "OCSP RESPONSE VERIFICATION"
- \&\s-1OCSP\s0 Response follows the rules specified in \s-1RFC2560.\s0
- .PP
- Initially the \s-1OCSP\s0 responder certificate is located and the signature on
- the \s-1OCSP\s0 request checked using the responder certificate's public key.
- .PP
- Then a normal certificate verify is performed on the \s-1OCSP\s0 responder certificate
- building up a certificate chain in the process. The locations of the trusted
- certificates used to build the chain can be specified by the \fB\-CAfile\fR,
- \&\fB\-CApath\fR or \fB\-CAstore\fR options or they will be looked for in the
- standard OpenSSL certificates directory.
- .PP
- If the initial verify fails then the \s-1OCSP\s0 verify process halts with an
- error.
- .PP
- Otherwise the issuing \s-1CA\s0 certificate in the request is compared to the \s-1OCSP\s0
- responder certificate: if there is a match then the \s-1OCSP\s0 verify succeeds.
- .PP
- Otherwise the \s-1OCSP\s0 responder certificate's \s-1CA\s0 is checked against the issuing
- \&\s-1CA\s0 certificate in the request. If there is a match and the OCSPSigning
- extended key usage is present in the \s-1OCSP\s0 responder certificate then the
- \&\s-1OCSP\s0 verify succeeds.
- .PP
- Otherwise, if \fB\-no_explicit\fR is \fBnot\fR set the root \s-1CA\s0 of the \s-1OCSP\s0 responders
- \&\s-1CA\s0 is checked to see if it is trusted for \s-1OCSP\s0 signing. If it is the \s-1OCSP\s0
- verify succeeds.
- .PP
- If none of these checks is successful then the \s-1OCSP\s0 verify fails.
- .PP
- What this effectively means if that if the \s-1OCSP\s0 responder certificate is
- authorised directly by the \s-1CA\s0 it is issuing revocation information about
- (and it is correctly configured) then verification will succeed.
- .PP
- If the \s-1OCSP\s0 responder is a \*(L"global responder\*(R" which can give details about
- multiple CAs and has its own separate certificate chain then its root
- \&\s-1CA\s0 can be trusted for \s-1OCSP\s0 signing. For example:
- .PP
- .Vb 1
- \& openssl x509 \-in ocspCA.pem \-addtrust OCSPSigning \-out trustedCA.pem
- .Ve
- .PP
- Alternatively the responder certificate itself can be explicitly trusted
- with the \fB\-VAfile\fR option.
- .SH "NOTES"
- .IX Header "NOTES"
- As noted, most of the verify options are for testing or debugging purposes.
- Normally only the \fB\-CApath\fR, \fB\-CAfile\fR, \fB\-CAstore\fR and (if the responder
- is a 'global \s-1VA\s0') \fB\-VAfile\fR options need to be used.
- .PP
- The \s-1OCSP\s0 server is only useful for test and demonstration purposes: it is
- not really usable as a full \s-1OCSP\s0 responder. It contains only a very
- simple \s-1HTTP\s0 request handling and can only handle the \s-1POST\s0 form of \s-1OCSP\s0
- queries. It also handles requests serially meaning it cannot respond to
- new requests until it has processed the current one. The text index file
- format of revocation is also inefficient for large quantities of revocation
- data.
- .PP
- It is possible to run this command in responder mode via a \s-1CGI\s0
- script using the \fB\-reqin\fR and \fB\-respout\fR options.
- .SH "EXAMPLES"
- .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
