Hi,

I don't know why the OCSP support is not included in the main source of OpenVPN (i need to update the patch for the rc7), but i know something:

- if your CRL (in flat file) is not up2date your OpenVPN will not crash
- if you decide to use OCSP server with OpenVPN (and my patch) and if your OCSP server crash, your OpenVPN will be block.

For my experience, I build Two OCSPd behind LVS and i bypass this problem.

What do you think about that ?

Regards,

Davy

Hi,
In light of the Debian OpenSSL vulnerability, I was looking for a way to efficiently check for revoked certificates.
Updating CRLs is one way but it's not exactly efficient.

I've found that someone has actually implemented OCSP for OpenVPN[1].
Is there any specific reason that this hasn't been merged?

I saw evidence on the openvpn-devel archives that this was submitted almost a year ago but I didn't see any reviews or comments whatsoever.

James, perhaps this should be included in -rc9?

Regards,
Faidon
