This chapter describes how to perform Online Certificate Status Manager (OCSP) agent tasks, such as identifying a CA to the OCSP and adding a CRL to the OCSP's internal database. This service is available only when the OCSP subsystem is installed. The OCSP agent services page allows authorized agents to accomplish these tasks.
NOTE
For this documentation, Online Certificate Status Manager is abbreviated OCSP.
The OCSP can be configured to receive CRLs from multiple Certificate Managers. Each Certificate Manager that can publish CRLs to the OCSP must have its CA signing certificate stored in the internal database of the OCSP. For instructions, refer to Section 7.2, “Identifying a CA to the OCSP”.
The list of Certificate Managers currently recognized by the OCSP can be viewed at any time. To see the list of Certificate Managers, do the following:
