This screencast demonstrates some basic Certomancer configuration. It takes you through the following scenarios:

Generating keys (the example uses RSA, but DSA and ECDSA are also supported)
Generating a CA certificate with a subordinate certificate
Setting up OCSP
Simulating certificate revocation

Note: due to terminal aspect ratio issues, the last bit of the openssl ocsp command might be cut off. This is the full invocation:

openssl ocsp -VAfile ocsp-responder.cert.pem -issuer ca.cert.pem \
   -cert alice.cert.pem -url http://localhost:9000/demo/ocsp/ocsp-service
