Hi,

when I was looking for an OCSP responder in January I also found
OpenCA.org and I also think it is dead.

If you want to use it, read the mailing list. Someone posted important
patches (against memory leaks and other things).

Another thing is, that I am not sure if an OCSP responder, which only
uses a CRL data source are good. You don't only want to know if a
certificate is revoked, you also want to know if it was issued, if the
CA knows anything about it.

Enterprise CAs like EJBCA uses a database to track certificates.

Because running Jboss was too much for my project, I found r509
(http://r509.org). It is Ruby-based and uses Ruby's OpenSSL libs.

r509-ocsp-responder can be combined with nginx, which is really powerful.

Well, it doesn't support reading from CRL as data source :)
You could

1) Add it, if you know Ruby

2) Or you could parse your CRL with r509 and create a database from it

But again I think it would be better to use a full database, as stated before.
