Response List Polling Schedule

This section describes how to configure the schedule on which the Validation Responder checks for new or updated data from configured response list sources. The Validation Responder will download a new OCSP response list ONLY if it is newer than the currently loaded list. There is little network overhead involved in frequently checking for updates.

Polling schedules can be configured in one of two ways:

  • Interval—List the amount of time to wait before checking for updated response lists.

  • Calendar—List a specific day and time at which the Validation Responder should check for updated response lists.

By default, the Validation Responder checks for updated OCSP response list data every 5 minutes. To add a recurring calendar-based polling schedule, click Add Calendar. To add a simple interval-based schedule, click Add Interval.

Calendar Polling Schedule

  1. Click Add Calendar.

  2. Specify the Year in four digit format or use an asterisk character (*) to represent all years.

  3. Specify a Month (1 to 12) or use an asterisk to represent all months.

  4. Specify a Day of the month (1 to 31) or use an asterisk to represent all days of the month.

  5. Specify an Hour of the day (0 to 23) or use an asterisk to represent all hours of the day.

  6. Specify the Minute (0 to 59) and Second (0 to 59).

    The example shown above defines a calendar schedule that runs at midnight every night.

  7. When you have finished defining the new calendar schedule, click Add Schedule.

Interval Polling Schedule

This section describes how to configure the frequency at which the Validation Responder should check for updated data from all sources.

  1. Click Add Interval.

  2. Enter the amount of time to wait between polling events to check for updated data from all sources.

  3. Click Add Schedule.

  4. When you are finished modifying the interval schedule, click Next.
