BenV's notes

I had a few people complain about their favorite browser showing an error such as:
“Invalid OCSP signing certificate in OCSP response. (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_invalid_signing_cert)”

Or maybe like this:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to notes.benv.junerules.com. Invalid OCSP signing certificate in OCSP response. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT

This was when they were going to a website that I host on my apache server that also serves this blog.
Knowing that my apache configuration is near perfect (*cough*) – at least, ssllabs.com gives this server at least an A rating – I wondered what was up with Firefox now.
At least, when testing the site in Google Chrome it worked fine.

Turns out that someone did the work for me:
Hanno Böck wrote a detailed post about the issue. Thanks Hanno, time to tweak some apache configuration and hope that Firefox steps up their game.
Thanks Hanno! 🙂
