Which hashing algorithm is used by the OCSP responder in KCA 6.5.1 ?


Which hashing algorithm is used by the OCSP responder in RSA Validation Manager ?
Resolution

For RSA Validation Manager it is always SHA1.

For KCA 6.5.1, the choices for selecting the signature and digest algorithm while creating an OCSP responder are same as those for creating a CA. With RSA, the supported digest algorithms are : MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 and with other signature algorithms, the supported digest algorithm is SHA-1.
