[Pki-users] CRL to file publishing on Clone CA

[John Magne]

Hi:

I'm not sure what are try to accomplish.
The way we have it now, only the master publishes anywhere.


Is the concern over the internal OCSP of the cloned CA's
or are you publishing to some external OSCP responders?
If you are worried about the internal OCSP's of the clones,
they should give the correct answers about a given cert through replication.

If there is something else desired, let us know.

thanks,
jack
