You will find there an updated version of mod-ssl including OCSP check as well as the documentation to set it up. 2006/10/11, Victor, Dwight P CTR DISA PAC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Hi Eriks, Thanks for the tip regarding Tumbleweed & WebCullis. I'll definitely have to do some research. Paul, One of my web searches pulled up the fact that HP-UX has a OCSP enabled version of mod_ssl. Seems to be a lucky break for you. Hope that works out. I have experienced a large memory hit anytime certificate checking is performed against the CRLs (some of which are 13 MB in size) in the range of 75MB per Apache server instance. Luckily we aren't that busy, or we would definitely be feeling the pain. BTW, I've been reading a bit about mod_nss (http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Mod_nss). This module sounds interesting, but it isn't supported on HP-UX. I'll have to give it a try and I'll let the list know the results (if I can find some time to play with it). Thanks again, Dwight... --- Dwight Victor, CISSP (Contractor) EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TEL: (808) 653-3677 ext 229 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 10:55 AM To: modssl-users@modssl.org Subject: RE: OCSP? (UNCLASSIFIED) Thanks Eriks, appreciate the info. We are using HP-UX, so the Tumbleweed solution won't work for us. We do have an HP version of Apache that has the OCSP mod of mod_ssl, but we just installed it (today) and haven't had a chance to look at the documentation yet. Will post back and let you know what we found out. Thanks again. Paul Richters, Eriks A wrote: > > I went down this road a few months ago.
