Recently, more use has been made of so-called OCSP stapling instead of CRL (Certificate Revocation Lists). See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Certificate_Status_Protocol If OCSP stapling should be activated in haproxy, the following procedure is used. See also this website: https://icicimov.github.io/blog/server/HAProxy-OCSP-stapling/ for a very good manual and explanation on which our manual here is based. check haproxy.cfgCheck that the stats socket is activated. If a different socket is specified, the script must be adjusted below (two lines before exit 0 - in the socat command). Translations Ignore |
