OCSP Responder

The OCSP service of the Certification Entity of the OMC offers standardised information based on the►RFC 2560. regarding the state of a digital certificate issued by the EC-OMC indicating whether the consulted certificate is active, suspended or revoked. This service responds to the client applications that make a standardised petition and know how to interpret the response.

The OCSP service is available at the address http://ocsp.cgcom.es. The information about the service is also specified in the actual certificate on the extension AIA (Authority Information Access).

  • At the address http://ocsp.cgcom.es the requests about the state of all certificates issued by the Certification Entity of the OMC are answered.

As an example of access to the OCSP of EC-OMC we will use OPENSSL:

openssl ocsp -issuer ECOMC_64.cer -cert certificado_a_validar_b64.cer -CAfile ECOMC_64.cer -url http://ocsp.cgcom.es -no_nonce -text -VAfile OMC_OSCP_Responder_64.cer

where ECOMC_64 is the intermediary root certificate of the CA-OMC encrypted in base 64, certificado_a_validar_b64.cer is the certificate to be tested encrypted in base 64 and OMC_OSCP_Responder_64.cer is the certificate for validating the encrypted certificates in base 64. 


As response we will obtain:


Response verify OK
oscp_prueba_cert_b64.cert.cer: revoked
