Configure OCSP Validation in Tenable Security Center

Required User Role: Root user

You can configure Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) validation in Tenable Security Center to prevent users from authenticating to Tenable Security Center if their certificate matches a revocation on your OCSP server.

Note: Tenable Support does not assist with OCSP configuration in Tenable Security Center.

Before you begin:

  • Confirm that you have an OCSP server configured in your environment.

      SSLOCSPOverrideResponder on

      Where <URI> is the URI for your OCSP server.
