CRL OCSP Monitor - Global Settings

Open the Global Settings dialog by clicking on the button:

Options available here are:

Permitted Time Skew

This setting operates across all test cases and specifies the allowed amount of time drift between the monitors time and the OCSP servers time

If the clocks between the OCSP Server and the machine hosting the CRL OCSP Monitor are not precisely synchronised errors may be experienced due to OCSP responses appearing to be produced before the current local time, or after the NextUpdate time

To prevent this set the Permitted Time Skew to an acceptable value (in seconds) which will cater for any time drift

Log Times In

Timings can be logged in UTC or the system’s Local Time, depending on the setting chosen here

UTC is useful when having to compare logs (e.g. against an OCSP server) for issue tracking
