OCSP serveur Thunderbird

Post by MfranB »

Hello,
I set up my own PKI for generating s/mime certificates. I'm trying to deal with the revocation of certificates part but Im having troubles when I try to query my OCSP server throughout Thunderbird.
I have my own OCSP server running on an Ubuntu machine thanks to OpenSSL. But I don't know how to forward the Thunderbird OCSP request toward my own OCSP server(http://127.0.0.1:8080)
I already specified inside the cerficate the URL toward the ocsp server associated with the protocol (OCSP)
Do any of you had this problem and solved it in the past ?

Thank you

The address for the OCSP server is a local address, you want a Internet address to access it from your Mac (another machine).

Its not clear what the future is for s/mime support. It seems to be on life support. If OpenPGP can meet your needs I'd suggest you switch to it.
