[OpenCA-Devel] New OCSPD Version (v2.1.0/Ellie) is available

[Massimiliano P. <pro...@op...>]

Dear OpenCA Community,

The OpenCA Labs and the OCSPD Team announce the availability of the new
version of the OCSPD package (Ellie/v2.1.0).


   Project Overview:
   =================

     The OpenCA OCSPD project is aimed to develop a robust and easy-to-install
     OCSP daemon. The server is developed as a stand-alone application and can
     be integrated into many different PKI solutions as it does not depend on
     specific database scheme. Furthermore it can be used as a responder for
     multiple CAs.

     The OCSP Responder is an rfc2560 compliant OCSPD responder. The purpose of
     such a server is to provide an on-line tool to verify the revocation status
     of a X.509 certificate in applications such as Browsers.


   Major Improvements over Previous Release (v2.0.0) are:
   ======================================================

     o Updated default configuration files (default passin set to none)
     o Enhanced support for ECDSA support, updated thread management with
       builtin support from LibPKI 0.6.3
     o Fixed start/stop script, fixed a memory error in config.c causing segfault
       on CRL reload
     o Deleted extra two bytes sent out after the DER encoding of the response is
       written (that was causing Firefox/Thunderbird not to validate the response)
     o Fixed an error in return code check for PKI_NET_listen
     o Fixed error in config parsing when no bind address was provided.
