[Pdns-users] MyDNS-Bind Migration and DNSSEC

Hello Eric,

 

You can run the tool "pdnssec" with option "show-zone" and the domain, eg:
pdnssec show-zone highoctanebrands.com

 

This shows the information the registry needs (DS and DNSKEY is shown). You
should only upload the key signing key and not the zone signing key. Weekly
zone signing key rollover is fully automated with PowerDNS (and keys are 2
or 3 weeks valid (if I'm correct).

 

You can assign multiple keys to 1 zone for key rollover and if you take
enough time it should work without problems (I didn't test it). For secure
transfers it is also possible to add another DNSKEY in your zone.

 

Kind regards,

 

Mark Scholten

Peter,

 

    Thank You we did manage to get it to work via auth = 1.  I have one
other question in regards to the DS and DNSKEY records from a registry
perspective ICANN requires registrars to provide a mechanism allowing a
domain owner to secure a zone.  The registrar has to submit the DS and
DNSKEY values to the registrar via API is there a way to get these records
since it appears PowerDNS is building on the fly when requested?? This and
Rollover are our last hurdles  

 

Thx again Peter

Million records from a MyDNS with a Bind Mysql backend   to PowerDNS with
PDNSSEC with gmysql backend,   We have had no issue migrating zones and
records after creating the scripts. Our issue lies in serving the zones.

Normal and Secured zones on one server?   We are inserting NULL in
ordername and auth could this be the cause?

You have a few options:
1) remove gmysql-dnssec from your configuration. This will fully disable
DNSSEC, and also disable all features that use the domainmetadata table. It
will also make PowerDNS ignore ordername and auth and this error will go
away.
2) keep gmysql-dnssec, and "fake up" ordername and auth. For non-DNSSEC
domains, put 1 in auth. ordername is ignored so NULL is a good value for it.

If you do want to support DNSSEC for (some) domains, please read
http://doc.powerdns.com/html/dnssec-modes.html#dnssec-direct-database very
carefully and/or use rectify-zone after zone data changes.

Kind regards,
