Hi: I have continued with testing httpd + mod_nss + "NSSOCSP on", I can say the error is due to the ocsp responder is stopped, if the ocsp responder is started httpd starts and the communication with the ocspd works fine. At first I think there was a problem with certificates and their ca chains but not. I think this a serious problem that confusing me with and not referenced in any documentation I read, httpd must start even if ocspd is not started and display the WARNING but this can not be an error, it could be a possible solution to check ocspd at regular intervals. Please, can you solve this? Thanks. José Luis The initial error message seemed clear to me, stating that the OCSP check failed. It is purposely a big hammer, not starting the server at all, if the certificate cannot be verified. I'd be more inclined to improve the "We aren't starting because..." error message. This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22 Per discussion with rcritten, will try to fix this upstream as time permits for inclusion in some future release. (better OCSP error msg at startup) Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Re-opening, still need a more descriptive error. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'. Looked at this again and still think the error was rather clear from a client perspective. It would be nicer if NSS would report better errors but from the context of NSS all I know is that verifying the server certificate failed with a given error code. I could add more text but it would just be restating the problem. I'm going to leave things as-is. |
