OCSP Responder User
The same user identifier assigned to the OCSPRESPONDER_DB_USER parameter when Setting the variables of the Validation Authority database scripts.
Mandatory: Yes.
OCSP Responder password
The same password assigned to the OCSPRESPONDER_DB_PASSWORD parameter when Setting the variables of the Validation Authority database scripts.
Mandatory: Yes.
Status Feeder User
The same user identifier assigned to the STATUSFEEDER_DB_USER parameter when Setting the variables of the Validation Authority database scripts.
Mandatory: Yes.
Status Feeder password
The same password assigned to the STATUSFEEDER_DB_PASSWORD parameter when Setting the variables of the Validation Authority database scripts.
Mandatory: Yes.
Max connections
The number of maximum concurrent database connections. as an integer equal to or greater than 1.
Since three internal services of Entrust Validation Authority utilize this value, the database must support at least three times the maximum concurrent connections set by this parameter.
Mandatory: Yes.
Connection timeout
The maximum period allowed for establishing a connection with the chrony client.
Mandatory: No. This optional value defaults to 1 second.
SSL mode
enable to enable SSL security in the database connection; disable otherwise.
The disable option is for testing environments only.
Mandatory: Yes.
SSL validation certificate
The CA certificate for validating the database SSL certificate.
As explained in Database requirements, the SSL certificate for the database host must include the IP address or FQDN of the host.
Mandatory: When SSL mode is enable, and Driver is postgres or sqlserver. See the following table for details.
Driver | SSL mode | SSL validation certificate |
|---|---|---|
postgres | enabled | Click Select Files to import a file containing this certificate in PEM format and Base64 encoding. |
oracle | enabled | Use the Oracle utilities to set this certificate. |
sqlserver | enabled | Click Select Files to import a file containing this certificate in PEM format and Base64 encoding. |
