[strongSwan] OCSP update dime

[Noel Kuntze]

Hello Anthony,

The exact paragraph is
> the strongSwan IKE daemon will not try to fetch a fresh CRL before the nextUpdate time in the CRL has passed. If you want to revoke IPsec endpoints more quickly then you > must either dramatically reduce the lifetime of a CRL e.g. down to an hour or use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) which will give you realtime information > on the certificate status.

The paragraph gives you the following information:
1) strongSwan will only fetch a new CRL when the nextUpdate time has passed (does not pertain OCSP)
2) If you need to get new information about revocations sooner than the nextUpdate time, then either decrease the nextUpdate time in the next CRL file you issue or use OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) instead. OCSP works via a HTTP request asking the OCSP responder if a given certificate (identified by its hash) is valid at the current time or not.

Kind regards

Noel

If you want to revoke IPsec endpoints more quickly then you must either dramatically reduce the lifetime of a CRL e.g. down to an hour or use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) which will give you realtime information on the certificate status.
