-This config generates a delegated OCSP signing certificate signed by a key in the HSM, identified by the object label `intermediate signing key` and the object ID `ffff`. The subject key used is taken from `/home/user/ocsp-signer-signing-pub.pem` and the issuer is `/home/user/intermdiate-cert.pem`, the resulting certificate is written to `/home/user/ocsp-signer-cert.pem`.
