Enabling OCSP Stapling in Apache for GoDaddy Certificates

I didn’t find a write-up for enabling OCSP for GoDaddy certs, but this writeup for StartSSL certs is useful. We just need to download the full certificate chain from godaddy’s respository as well.

GoDaddy’s Certificate Repository

Actually though, the zip file that’s issues with the certificate contains the full CA chain, complete with intermediate and root certificate. I delete the root certificate from this file for the ssl chain directive, but am using the full chain/bundle file for ocsp stapling.

In the end, I added these directives to the server configuration, outside of any virtual host.
