Betreff: Re: Cacert-Website mit Firefox nicht mehr erreichbar
Datum: Sat, 31 Oct 2020 16:42:11 +0100
Von: Bernd Jantzen
Antwort an: Bernd Jantzen
An: cacert-support@lists.cacert.org


OK, it certainly is not practical that Firefox has changed the default settings
here.

But why does OCSP not work for www.cacert.org? The certificate used to identify
www.cacert.org specifies http://ocsp.cacert.org/ for authority information via
OCSP. So why does it not work? Is there a problem with CAcert's OCSP server? Can
this not be fixed by CAcert instead of telling everybody to deactivate OCSP
checking in Firefox?

And why should it be a good idea to deactivate OCSP checking generally in my
browser? I would guess that this makes my encrypted web connections less secure
because used server certificates might be compromised and revoked without my
browser noticing it.

Best regards,
Bernd

seem like the OCSP responder is using sha1WithRSAEncryption to sign OCSP responses and maybe Firefox does not like this anymore:

Following https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1237191 from 2018, SHA-1 is "to be disabled". Maybe that happend now?

I checked the logfiles of the ocsp-server (and set up a new one in my test-environment):

Firefox tries to verify the certificate by using the OCSP-responder on port 80. Therefore no oscp-server-certificate is questioned.

... but ...

It's the OCSP stapling setting in apache, which breaks the Firefox-OCSP-functionality ...

As it seem, that (at least) one certificate can't be verified, I disabled OCSP stapling temporary, so access to https://www.cacert.org via Firefox is working again.

... to be continued ...

Today we detected, that a script on ocsp.cacert.org was not running as expected.

Therefore the CRL expired for OCSP-Daemon, hence giving the OLD_RESPONSE-error.

We now restarted the script and change our internal monitoring within the next days.

The OCSP responder has been restored to a proper working state and is monitored properly now. I think the bug has been fixed.
