When a peer sends certificates, an OCSP client (e.g. SIPFE) issues a status request to an OCSP responder and suspends acceptance of the certificates in question until the responder provides a response. The OCSP client needs the address/URL of the OCSP responder, the certificate to be checked, and the certificate issuer’s certificate. The OCSP URL can be FQDN or IPv4 address plus port number.

The

Spacevars
0product
supports OCSP stapling, which means the client does not need to query the OCSP responder to retrieve the certificate status. OCSP stapling allows you to provide the validity information of your security certificate. Refer to SIP Profiles for more information.

SBC supports adding OCSP configuration to an existing/new TLS profile, and performing automatic OCSP checking in OpenSSL library without making substantial changes to OCSP clients (SIPFE, etc.). The OCSP clients may be involved when OCSP checking returns errors. The user may create up to four OCSP profiles per system as described in "Key Concepts" section below.

...

  • OCSP capability
    • enabled
    • disabled (default)
  • Default responder URI (default: blank):
    • IPv4 address and port number, or
    • FQDN
  • AIA override:
    • enabled - Forces the use of configured Default responder for OCSP validation regardless of whether or not the certificate being validated references a responder by AIA.
    • disabled (default) - The responder referenced via AIA by the certificate being validated is used, or the Default responder as configured is used only if the AIA is not available.
  • OCSP Stapling
    • disabled (default)
    • enabled
  • OCSP response waiting time - If the corresponding OCSP response does not return before the time expires after sending an OCSP request, the response is considered unavailable.
    • Range: 1-16 seconds, default = . Default: 2.
  • OCSP Response Caching Timer
    • Range: 1-30 days. Default: 1.
Note
The configured default responder may point to the certificate authority (CA) that issued the certificate in question, a Trusted Responder whose public key is trusted by the SBC, or a CA Authorized Responder (or Delegated Trust Responder in UCR term) that is designated by one or more CAs.

When the

is upgraded from a release which already supports OCSP, all the parameter values of existing OCSP profiles are retained after the upgrade completes.
