Free OCSP server for testing purposes?

Question

Can anyone recommend a free and simple OCSP server for Windows or Linux?

Solution 1

The best free OCSP server is in the OpenCA package. Here is an example of creating a custom OCSP message. If you like java then you should use EJBCA.

I think windows has an OCSP server in the windows 2008 enterprise edition. I know it has other parts of the PKI. This isn't free.

Solution 2

Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 Enterprise Editions both have OCSP as an option when you install the AD Cert Services. You can use both for testing purposes for 180-days. Download available from Microsoft.

@Warren if you don't know what ocsp is, then you shouldn't answer the question.

@unknown, warren didn't answer, he used a comment to add a link to provide additional information. At the very least it saved me having to look up yet another never before seen acronym.

There is also Fedora/Redhat's ''Dogtag'' pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Main_Page

@unknown: Thanks, that looks very interesting. I'll give it a try tomorrow!

@The Rook: I was able to glue a solution using the OpenCA library. See this post: serverfault.com/questions/131983/…. Thanks for the suggestion!
