ssl.c:
correctly manage and export serial numbers of any size (as
parsed by OpenSSL) into the environment. Set to empty string
in case of errors, as 0 and negative numbers are all possible
(although illegal) certificate serial numbers. Use an OpenSSL
BIO object to do the job.
openvpn.8:
Added some notes about $tls_serial_{n} format and usage to the
existing description.
contrib/OCSP_check.sh:
New barebone script to demonstrate how to use $tls_serial_{n}
to perform simple OCSP queries using OpenSSL command line
"openssl ocsp".

+# Sample script to perform OCSP queries with OpenSSL
+# given a certificate serial number.
+
+# If you run your own CA, you can set up a very simple
+# OCSP server using the -port option to "openssl ocsp".
+
+# Full documentation and examples:
+# http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ocsp.html
+
+
+# Edit the following values to suit your needs
+# *** NO SPACES IN PATHS ANYWHERE ***
+
+# OCSP responder URL (mandatory)
+ocsp_url="http://some.ocsp.server/";
+#ocsp_url="https://some.secure.ocsp.server/";
+
+# Path to issuer certificate (mandatory)
+issuer="-issuer /path/to/CAcert.crt"
+
+# use a nonce in the query, set to "-no_nonce" to not use it
+nonce="-nonce"
+
+# Verify the response?
+verify="-CAfile /path/to/CAcert.crt"
+# you can also use -CApath
+# If you do not want to verify, set the following
+#verify="-noverify"
+
+# Depth in the certificate chain where the cert to verify is.
+# Set to -1 to run the verification at every level (NOTE that
+# in that case you need a more complex script as the various
+# parameters for the query will likely be different at each level)
+# "0" is the usual value here, where the client certificate is
+check_depth=0
+
+cur_depth=$1 # this is the *CURRENT* depth
+common_name=$2 # in case you need it
+
+# begin
+if [ $check_depth -eq -1 ] || [ $cur_depth -eq $check_depth ]; then
+ eval serial="\$tls_serial_${cur_depth}"
+
+ # Check that the serial is not empty
+ if [ -n "$serial" ]; then
+
+ # This is only an example; you are encouraged to run this command (without
+ # redirections) manually against your or your CA's OCSP server to see how
+ # it responds, and adapt accordingly.
+ # Sample output:
+ #
+ # Response verify OK
+ # 0x428740A5: good
