Configuring the Controller as an Ocsp Client

The OCSP responder on the controller is accessible over HTTP port 8084. This port is not configurable by the administrator. Although the OCSP responder accepts signed OCSP requests, it does not attempt to verify the signature before processing the request. Therefore, even unsigned OCSP requests are supported.

The controller as an OCSP responder provides revocation status information to ArubaOS applications that are using CRLs. This is useful in small disconnected networks where clients cannot reach outside OCSP server to validate certificates. Typical scenarios include client to client or client to other server communication situations where the certificates of either party need to be validated.

When OCSP is used as the revocation method, you need to configure the OCSP responder certificate and the OCSP URL.

In the WebUI

1.Navigate to the Configuration > Management > Certificates > Upload page.
