Setting up [OCSP stapling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCSP_stapling) with [nginx](http://nginx.org/) is more or less straightforward, but depending on what's in your `ssl_certificate` you might run into some issues with it silently failing. So I've decided to write about how I set up OCSP stapling with certificates from [StartSSL](https://www.startssl.com/) and [CAcert](http://www.cacert.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
I have only tested this using nginx version 1.5.12, but the configuration options I'm using have been in nginx since version 1.3.7. If it does not work for some reason, feel free to leave a comment below.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable OCSP stapling, you simply have to add the following lines to your (already SSL enabled) site:
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight nginx %}
|
||||
resolver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 valid=300s;
|
||||
resolver_timeout 10s;
|
||||
|
||||
ssl_stapling on;
|
||||
ssl_stapling_verify on;
|
||||
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/startssl.stapling.crt;
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
The important thing here is the usage of `ssl_trusted_certificate`. The [nginx documentation](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_stapling_verify) states that:
|
||||
|
||||
> For verification to work, the certificate of the server certificate issuer, **the root certificate, and all intermediate certificates** should be configured as trusted using the ssl_trusted_certificate directive.
|
||||
|
||||
You have to include the root certificate (and intermediate certificates) for OCSP stapling to work, which is why `ssl_trusted_certificate` will be set to a *special* certificate file that includes those. If your `ssl_certificate` already does, you might be able to skip using `ssl_trusted_certificate`.
|
||||
|
||||
## CAcert
|
||||
|
||||
For CAcert (and unless you have a Class 3 certificate) you only have to include the Class 1 certificate in your stapling file.

## StartSSL
|
||||
|
||||
StartSSL - using a Class 1 certificate again - has an intermediate certificate in their chain, so you have to include this one in your stapling file, too.

After you've done all that, you can restart nginx or reload the configuration and you should be good to go!
|
||||
|
||||
You can verify that everything works using the `openssl` command line tool.
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight bash %}
|
||||
# CAcert
|
||||
openssl s_client -servername blog.kempkens.io -connect blog.kempkens.io:443 -tls1 -tlsextdebug -status
|
||||
|
||||
# StartSSL
|
||||
openssl s_client -servername kempkens.io -connect kempkens.io:443 -tls1 -tlsextdebug -status
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
Both of those should include a section (with data) named "OCSP Response Data".
|
||||
|
||||
An alternative way to test if OCSP stapling is supported, is by using [Qualys SSL Labs](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/).
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that nginx does not include OCSP data in the first response, because it has to fetch it, too. So you probably have to try at least two times to verify if it works or not.
