This is a simple OCSP responder (see RFC6960) built with ASP.NET Core. I needed an OCSP responder for our internal PKI and found a wonderful library that simplified the development a lot.
The responder itself can be configured with appsettings.json
along with OCSPR_...
environment variables, when configuration file is used, it is automatically reloaded on change.
The web host is configured as a normal ASP.NET Core app.
For serverless containers compatibility, the PORT
envvar is supported, which forces the responder to listen on http://localhost:<PORT>
.
/healthcheck
-- perform a healthcheck/version
-- get version/v0.1/metrics/requests
-- number of OCSP requests/v0.1/metrics/errors
-- number of OCSP errors
It has full support for running via systemd
, including Type=notify
unit, socket inheritance via Libuv, journald logging, etc.
