I was wondering if someone could help me out. I’m trying to use mod_nss with OCSP enabled. I get the following error messages when I do:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> [Wed Aug 19 15:09:40 2009] [error] Certificate not verified: 'RapidSSL'<o:p></o:p> [Wed Aug 19 15:09:40 2009] [error] SSL Library Error: -8068 The OCSP server has refused this request as unauthorized<o:p></o:p> [Wed Aug 19 15:09:40 2009] [error] Unable to verify certificate 'RapidSSL'. Add "NSSEnforceValidCerts off" to nss.conf so the server can start until the problem can be resolved.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I have a SSL certificate for the server issued from RapidSSL. When I do a certutil –V on the certificate, it says the certificate is valid. From the looks of the error message, the RapidSSL certificate is being sent to the OCSP server. Is this what is happening? If so, is there a way I can have this not happen? Thanks. Here is a copy of my nss.conf file:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> #<o:p></o:p> # This is the Apache server configuration file providing SSL support using.<o:p></o:p> # the mod_nss plugin.
