Hi,

There is nothing (that I could find) in the ocsp(1) doc on how to generate 
OCSP responder certificates with openssl.

In the openssl.cnf you need:
[ ocsp_cert ]
 extendedKeyUsage = OCSP Signing
then add "-extensions ocsp_cert" on the "openssl ca" command to generate 
the cert.

Note the space in the OID name!
Using "OCSPsigning" doesn't work.

There is also an unrelated mistake in the doc:

"
OCSP Response verification
...
Initially the OCSP responder certificate is located and the signature on 
the OCSP request checked using the responder certificate's public key. 
"

Should be "... and the signature on the OCSP response checked ...". OCSP 
request checking is something different.

Regards,

Simon McMahon
