Happy new year, hope you are well.
Due to the current and developing tough economic situation in Malawi,
we at .mw ccTLD are considering ways to provide better conditions for
registrars that operate or are based in Malawi.
One possible way to do this is to charge them for EPP operations at a different
rate as they provide and manage domains locally to those in Malawi.
We are aware that FRED does not provide a differential pricing scheme,
however, FRED does provide VAT charges that can be different from one
registrar to another, some registrars can be configured to be charged
VAT but others can be on no-vat.
When we looked at this we also noticed that there is a parameter call
"koef" in the database. This seems to affect how credit is allocated
to a registrar but it does not appear to be linear.
So, we would like to find out the following:
1. If we wanted a group of registrars to be charged say 10% less for an EPP transaction, how
can we use the VAT setting in FRED to achieve that ?
2. How is koef used in the FRED system - is there a formula ?
3. Can we use koef in a positive way to benefit some registrar only ?
4. What happens if we set a negative value for koef ?
5. Can we set a negative value for VAT ?
Please provide any additional details as we are also exploring SQL
ways to achieve differential pricing or crediting of groups of
registrars.
Regards,
Paulos

Folks:
I want to know who gets commands like sendauthinfo_domain and the rest of those commands.
And also, what is needed for those commands to work appropiately (the messenger configuration, for example?).
Mario Guerra - NIC-CR
Server disposition
A fred-db server, a fred-admin server, a genzone+signer server and a whois/LDAP server.
The last one is fully public.
Situation
In a test environment using this server architecture all the services work perfectly. Also, I tested the last version of the test installation and all services work in one test server.
What we want
* Installing FERDA in the fred-admin sever
* Installing the web whois service and the RDAP service on the whois server.
This means that a Docker server would be installed in both fred-admin and fred-whois. One alternative if possible is using a preexisting Docker server (we have one).
Also, apparently both three Docker servers need the messenger and secretary services. But there is something I'm omitting.
A tutorial for installing these three services in an environment similar to the described one.
Best regards
Mario Guerra - NIC-CR
Hey there, suddenly today, zone files are not getting updated with the new
names in it for example zone db.ind.mom is not getting updated with the new
names in it, even after booking a successful domain. I am able to see the
domain from admin panel that it is booked, but cant see via db zone file.
Please help
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.
