This is quite dangerous. What do you want to do if you revoke a never
published certificate? Do you want to publish it after the revocation?
What do you want to do if one LDAP-node owns several certificates
(userCertificate can contain more than a single certificate)? LDAP knows
no order for binary attributes.

No, it's not. If we use perl the user can download a module from
cpan.org and install it. If we use Embedded SQL then the user must
support us with a driver and some headerfiles in the right place and
that's a problem - I know how long you can search if something goes
wrong with such a driver. 

Do you know the transportprotocol of OCSP (I read RFC 2560 and I think
we could use http)? Must we create a daemon or could we use a server
like apache? What is with the code from OpenSSL (openssl ocsp ...)?
