The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) makes it possible for + Certificate Manager to perform an online check of a certificate's + validity each time the certificate is viewed or used.

Your computer must be online for OCSP to work.</p> + +<p>The following settings in the OCSP section of the Certificates preferences + panel determine how Certificate Manager uses OCSP:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) to confirm the + current validity of certificates</strong>: Select this if you want + Certificate Manager to perform an online status check each time it verifies + a certificate. Certificate Manager makes sure that the certificate is + listed as valid at the URL and checks validity period and trust settings. + + <p><strong>Note</strong>: If this setting is not selected, Certificate + Manager will only confirm the certificate's validity period and that + it is correctly signed by a CA whose own CA certificate is both listed + under the CA Certificates tab (in the main Certificate Manager window) + and marked as trusted for issuing that kind of certificate.</p> + </li> + <li><strong>When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as + invalid</strong>: Select this if you want the validation to fail if a + connection to the OCSP server can't be established, thus enforcing + that a certificate always must be positively validated for each use.</li> +</ul> + +<p>For more detailed information on certificate validation, see + <a href="using_certs_help.xhtml#controlling_validation">How Certificate + Validation Works</a>.</p> + +</body> +</html> |
