This is a set of pointers to where/when OCSP discussion has taken place on the CAOPS mailing list. I think that this list is public, and easily accessible, so I will not repost it. I think the most interesting material is in the May-June block, and Jesus Luna's most recent comments at the end of Oct. More on this later. Apr 2005 http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/caops-wg/2005/04/msg00001.html [MS's version of document pre GGF-14] May-June 2005 http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/caops-wg/2005/05/maillist.html http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/caops-wg/2005/06/maillist.html [All the content of the mailing list in May, and most in June, was OCSP] Sep-Oct 2005 http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/caops-wg/2005/09/msg00000.html http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/caops-wg/2005/10/msg00001.html [launch of certiver-related open OCSP Java client API and OCSP service; see note below] Oct 2005 http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/caops-wg/2005/10/msg00097.html http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/caops-wg/2005/10/msg00098.html http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/caops-wg/2005/10/msg00099.html http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/caops-wg/2005/10/msg00100.html [Set of comments from JL about OCSP proxy cert issues, responding to issues raised in earlier discussion & at GGF] Frank Siebenlist discussed the client API licensing with CertiVeR, and as I understand it they have agreed to change the licensing to an Apache-like license; this would allow "vendors" like Globus and perhaps other middleware packagers to incorporate and use the source code. [Or so I understand it.] There are probably some other sideways discussions that didn't take place completely or at all on the CAOPS list which could be useful. I don't think I will look any deeper but if any issue has been missed please bring it up. Thanks, ==mwh Michael Helm ESnet/LBL
