Setting up a CA and signing certificates with it

by Mario Guerra

I have done this, according to http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign.html, part 1B (generating your own CA): a) create a CA authority (ca.key and ca.crt) b) make a certificate request (server.csr) c) sign the certificate request (server.crt and server.key) with the new CA authority d) change the server key so it does not ask for a passphrase. Afterwards, the server.crt and server.key files are included in /usr/share/fred-client/ssl directory, and the fred-client configuration file is modified like this: ssl_cert = %(dir)s/server.crt ssl_key = %(dir)s/server.key Now, if I try to run fred-client this is the result: ERROR: socket.sslerror: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:480: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca (200.107.82.18:700) Certificate not signed by verified certificate authority What should I do for fred-client to identify these certificates as valid?. Thanks in advance. Note: the new fred-client is perfectly compatible with FRED 2.2. -- Mario Guerra <mguerra(a)nic.cr>

Your remarks on new FRED documentation

by Zuzana Lena Ansorgova

Dear users of the FRED, I am a technical writer of the CZ.NIC and I'm currently working on a new administration manual for the FRED. I think you are of those who would appreciate this new piece of documentation and therefore, I would like to ask you about your opinions on what topics this manual should comprise, which questions it should answer and what else you would expect from it. I've attached my first (though only very rough) draft of the contents of this manual for inspiration and/or comments. (Please, ignore the order of the topics for now, that will be dealt with later.) Your insight would be very helpful. Thanks for your time! Best regards, Lena Technical Writer @ CZ.NIC

help - Setting starting serial number in Genzone-Client generated zones

by Dr Paulos B Nyirenda

We have made some progress in activating FRED for our Malawi .mw registry and we have started connecting registrars. We have now also started publishing the zonefiles from FRED as generated by genzone-client. BUT I have a problem of serial numbers. Our current zones have a date related SOA which is as follows: mw. 172800 IN SOA chambo.sdnp.org.mw. domains.registrar.mw. 2010252090 43200 7200 1209600 172800 However from genzone I am getting the following SOA mw. 18000 IN SOA chambo.sdnp.org.mw. domains.registrar.mw. 1469318701 10800 3600 604800 86400 Since our current serial number 2010252090 is greater than the genzone serial number 1469318701 then the zone will not propagate to the .mw secondary DNS servers There is no facility in the genzone config file to help have this resolved. Could you then anyone please show me how to set up genzone-client so that I can set a higher starting serial number than the current 2010252090 one? I would apprecisate a details reply ifyou have one. Regards, Paulos ====================== Dr Paulos B Nyirenda NIC.MW & .mw ccTLD http://www.registrar.mw ------- End of forwarded message -------

What I have in mind is creating a document in a more collaborative matter than ODT. Something like wiki or github? So one could add input directly there and some versioning is also available? (Personally I'd opt for git[hub], but for some it could be easier to use a wiki page I guess.)

by Piotr Przybył

Hello cz.nic Team I've read a memo at your page that you have released FRED 2.23 recently. Do you have any plans about supporting xenial (and releasing binary packages) once it becomes really stable? Best regards Piotr Przybył
