Step 3. Enable Certificate Manager’s HTTP Port
The Certificate Manager services OCSP requests via its nonSSL (HTTP) end-entity
port; see “End-Entity Ports” on page 373. If you’ve disabled the port, you must
enable it so that OCSP-compliant clients can successfully query the Certificate
Manager for the revocation status of a certificate.
