Configuration options

Table 1. Optional configuration options
key type default value description

check-only-end-entity

boolean

false

Only check the revocation status of end-entity certificates. Default value is false.

enabled

boolean

false

Flag indicating whether this revocation config is enabled.

fallback-enabled

boolean

true

Enable fallback to the less preferred checking option.

If the primary method for revocation checking fails to verify the revocation status of a certificate (such as using a CRL or OCSP), the checker will attempt alternative methods. This option ensures whether revocation checking is performed strictly according to the specified method, or should fallback to the one less preferred. OCSP is preferred over the CRL by default.

ocsp-responder-uri

URI

 

The URI that identifies the location of the OCSP responder. This overrides the ocsp.responderURL security property and any responder specified in a certificate’s Authority Information Access Extension, as defined in RFC 5280.

prefer-crl-over-ocsp

boolean

false

Prefer CRL over OCSP. Default value is false. OCSP is preferred over the CRL by default.

soft-fail-enabled

boolean

false

Allow revocation check to succeed if the revocation status cannot be determined for one of the following reasons:

  • The CRL or OCSP response cannot be obtained because of a network error.

  • The OCSP responder returns one of the following errors specified in section 2.3 of RFC 2560: internalError or tryLater.
