sso-config.[bat|sh] -set_authn_policy -t tenantName -useOcsp true
b If the OCSP responder link is not provided by the AIA extension of the certificates, provide the
overriding OCSP responder URL and OCSP authority certificate.
The alternative OCSP is configured for each vCenter Single Sign-On site. You can specify more
than one alternative OCSP responder for your vCenter Single Sign-On site to allow for failover.
sso-config.[bat|sh] -t tenant -add_alt_ocsp [-siteID yourPSCClusterID] -ocspUrl
http://ocsp.xyz.com/ -ocspSigningCert yourOcspSigningCA.cer
Note The configuration is applied to the current vCenter Single Sign-On site by default. Specify
the siteID parameter only if you configure alternative OCSP for other vCenter Single Sign-On
sites.
Consider the following example.
.sso-config.[bat|sh] -t vsphere.local -add_alt_ocsp -ocspUrl
http://failover.ocsp.nsn0.rcvs.nit.disa.mil/ -
ocspSigningCert ./DOD_JITC_EMAIL_CA-29__0x01A5__DOD_JITC_ROOT_CA_2.cer
