the time stamp of next CRL update—a future update time for the CRL or
the revocation information—in the OCSP response that it sends to
OCSP-compliant clients. (According to the OCSP protocol, it is optional to
include the time stamp of next CRL update in an OCSP response.) Select
this option if you want the OCSP response to contain information about

possible OCSP responses, namely GOOD, REVOKED, and UNKNOWN.
Select this option if you want the Online Certificate Status Manager to
return an OCSP response of GOOD if the certificate in question cannot be
found in any of the CRLs. If you deselect the option, the response will be
