Description

Which forces connection renegotiation which causes OCSP to be checked.

Reportedly when using LDAP backed automatic cert enrollment revoking a user from the web UI will also reset their connection. If we can do the same via the TAKServer REST api it would be grand.

See also #48 for working around the issue (also since in 4.x WebTAK does not check OCSP we might need to do that anyway).

Research direction

Start by investigating the TAKServer REST API behavior described in the issue, including how WebTAK handles OCSP checks and connection renegotiation. Review issue #48 for the stated workaround; done means establishing whether the API can force a revoked user's connection reset and documenting the result.
