The OpenCA OCSP Responder is an RFC 2560 compliant OCSPD responder. It can be used to verify the status of a certificate using OCSP clients (such as Mozilla/Netscape7). The Responder is actually included in the main OpenCA distribution package. It is also possible to install the daemon as a stand-alone application, in which case you will need a CRL (or access to an LDAP server where the CRL can be obtained).
