Online Certificate Status Protocol Attributes
The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OSCP) attribute fields in the application definitions are used to control OCSP enablement.
OSCP is a mechanism for determining the revocation status of a certificate. See the detailed OCSP description to understand how that processing works. The GSKit APIs allow for configuring numerous attributes that determine OCSP processing.
The application definition has two OCSP attribute fields that are used to control OCSP enablement. The other OCSP attributes cannot be changed by the application definition. Those other attribute values are determined by GSKit API settings or by internal default values.
- OCSP URL
The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) URL application definition field determines whether this application uses a general OCSP responder to send requests during certificate validation for end entity certificates. - OCSP AIA Processing
The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) Authority Information Access (AIA) processing application definition field determines whether OCSP certificate revocation checking is done with AIA certificate extension information.
