Ah, OK. Thanks. I have a follow up question about "This Update" in the OCSP Response Data. The config looks like this: SSLStaplingCache shmcb:/run/httpd/ssl_stapling(32768) The contents of /run/ doesn't persist over reboot. Unless I misunderstand what anonymous shared memory is then that doesn't persist over reboot. But if I connect to port 443 and look at the OCSP Response Data I see This Update: Aug 16 00:58:00 2017 GMT Then I reboot the server, and connect to port 443 again and I see. This Update: Aug 16 00:58:00 2017 GMT When the cache doesn't persist over reboot, how is that date/time the same after reboot? Running httpd with "LogLevel debug" I see this appear in the log [Wed Aug 16 13:38:23.590925 2017] [ssl:debug] [pid 1418:tid 140561596020480] ssl_util_ocsp.c(79): [client nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:37904] AH01973: connecting to OCSP responder 'ocsp.usertrust.com' the first (and only first) time I connect to port 443 after reboot. Looking at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6960#page-9 I see "OCSP responders MAY pre-produce signed responses specifying the status of certificates at a specified time. The time at which the status was known to be correct SHALL be reflected in the thisUpdate field of the response." Could it be that ocsp.usertrust.com pre-produced a response for my certificate at "Aug 16 00:58:00 2017 GMT" and is handing that out to my instance of httpd? thanks, mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
