Distinguished name matching

At several places in the Nexus OCSP Responder configuration, one or more certificates can be pointed out by issuer or subject Distinguished Names (DNs). In essence, it is a "scaled-down" matching that behaves the same as subject or DN behaves in the certificate pattern.

Match against issuer DNs
  • To define the back-end client's URL lookup table: 

    CODE
    ocsp.client.urlcheck
  • To specify the OCSP response cache contents:

    CODE
    ocsp.cache.contents
Match against subject DNs

To specify authorization settings:

CODE
ocsp.<#>.incoming.authorization.match

The matching is performed against the complete DN. Wildcards (* and ?) are allowed in the match pattern.

Conventions

Nexus OCSP Responder uses the following conventions on string representation of a DN:

  • The relative distuingished names (RDNs) are separated by comma (,).
  • No blanks allowed before or after the RDN separator.
  • A trailing blank in the name itself is shown as "\20".
