OCSPResponder
✓ from openssl_ocsp_responder import OCSPResponder
✗ from openssl_ocsp_responder import OCSPResponder

Basic usage of OCSPResponder class to start OCSP responder on port 8080.

from openssl_ocsp_responder import OCSPResponder responder = OCSPResponder( ca_cert='ca.pem', responder_cert='responder.crt', responder_key='responder.key', port=8080 ) responder.serve_forever()

Known issues
gotchaThe responder requires OpenSSL binary to be installed on the system and accessible via PATH. If not found, an exception will be raised.
fix
Install OpenSSL (e.g., via apt, brew, or choco) and ensure it's in PATH.
affects: all
gotchaThe library uses subprocess to call 'openssl ocsp' command. The responder's behavior depends on the OpenSSL version installed.
fix
Test with the same OpenSSL version as production.
affects: all
deprecatedThe function 'set_responder_cert' was deprecated in v1.0.0; use the constructor parameter instead.
fix
Pass responder_cert and responder_key directly to OCSPResponder.
affects: >=1.0.0
