I'm planning to run openssl ocsp in server mode,

 openssl ocsp \
 -index /svr/demoCA/index.txt \
 -port 8888 \
 -CA /svr/demoCA/certs/CA/CA.cert.pem \
 -rsigner /svr/demoCA/crl/OCSP.cert.pem \
 -rkey /svr/demoCA/crl/OCSP.privkey.pem \
 -text -out /var/log/ocsp.log

where "OCSP.cert.pem" is a single-purpose cert, only for the OCSP responder.

What's the MINIMAL (Extended)KeyUsage for the cert?

Currently, I have

        cat /svr/demoCA/crl/OCSP.cert.pem | grep -i usage -A1

                X509v3 Extended Key Usage:
                                OCSPsigning
                --
                            X509v3 Key Usage: critical
                                Digital Signature, Non Repudiation, Key 
Encipherment

Obviously, the "OCSPsigning" Extended usage is required.

Which, if any/all, of the "Digital Signature, Non Repudiation, Key
Encipherment" KeyUsage specifications are required, if this cert will
be used ONLY for/by the OCSP responder daemon?

Thanks.
