IOCSPAdmin interface
The IOCSPAdmin interface provides functionality to manage an Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responder server. Implement this interface to manage individual responder server properties and certification authority (CA) definitions. After creating an instance of this interface, you call GetConfiguration to connect to a responder service and initialize an OCSPAdmin object. Each OCSPAdmin object corresponds to one physical responder server.
Note This interface does not include functionality to create or parse certificate status requests.
In C++, you create an instance of this interface by calling the CoCreateInstance function with the CLSID_OCSPAdmin class identifier.
In Visual Basic Scripting Edition, you create an instance of the OCSPAdmin object.
Members
The IOCSPAdmin interface inherits from the IDispatch interface. IOCSPAdmin also has these types of members:
Methods
The IOCSPAdmin interface has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GetConfiguration |
Connects to a responder server and initializes an OCSPAdmin object with the configuration information from the server. |
| GetHashAlgorithms |
Gets a list of hash-algorithm names. The responder server uses one of the named algorithms to sign OCSP responses for a given CA configuration. |
| GetMyRoles |
Gets the access mask of privilege roles for a user on a given responder server. |
| GetSecurity |
Gets security descriptor information for a responder server. |
| GetSigningCertificates |
Gets the signing certificates that are available on a responder server for a given CA certificate. |
| Ping |
Tests a DCOM connection with a responder service. |
| SetConfiguration |
Updates a responder service with configuration changes. |
| SetSecurity |
Updates security descriptor information for an OCSP responder server. |
Properties
The IOCSPAdmin interface has these properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
Gets an instance of an OCSPCAConfigurationCollection object. This object represents the set of certificates for which a responder service can handle status requests. | |
|
Gets an instance of a OCSPPropertyCollection object. This object represents the attributes of a responder service. |
Remarks
The following table disambiguates the various properties used in the Microsoft OCSP architecture.
| Architecture | Scope | Information types |
|---|---|---|
| OCSPServiceProperties | Governs general responder-service behavior for every CA. |
|
| OCSPCAConfigurationCollection | Governs response behavior for a specific CA. |
|
| ProviderProperties | Governs behavior of a revocation information provider that is specific to a particular OCSPCAConfiguration. |
