Supported Ca Servers - Cisco FirePOWER ASA 5500 series Configuration Manual

Chapter 39 Configuring Certificates
The OCSP server (responder) certificate typically signs the OCSP response. After receiving the
response, the security appliance tries to verify the responder certificate. The CA normally sets the
lifetime of its OCSP responder certificate to a relatively short period to minimize the chance of it being
compromised.The CA typically also includes an ocsp-no-check extension in the responder certificate
indicating that this certificate does not need revocation status checking. But if this extension is not
present, the security appliance tries to check its revocation status using the same method specified in the
trustpoint. If the responder certificate is not verifiable, revocation checks fails. To avoid this possibility,
configure revocation-check none in the responder certificate validating trustpoint, while configuring
revocation-check ocsp for the client certificate.

enrollment to fail or for enrollment to request a certificate containing inaccurate information.
