Many thanks Stuart. I have configured a PKI using openssl tools, and it is working ok ... Now, I would like to install an oscp instance to check when a certificate is revoked ... But I have some doubts: - When a certificate is revoked, can be removed .csr and .crt files (the request and signed cert by CA) without problems? - I am trying to setup a startup script for oscp using openssl, can be accomplished this in OpenBSD's way? Thanks. -- Greetings, C. L. Martinez
