FRED bad exDate result in poll
==========================
We are seeing a different (bad) result of exDate in poll messages compared to that in the
WHOIS or in the info_domain EPP command result for some domains follwoing a database
change, please allow me to explain.
At least one registrar in the past year has requested a roll back of the expiry date of a
.mw
domain following a mistake by staff of the registrar who put more years on the domain
renew
than what was paid for. We normally resist rolling back the expiry date but in these cases
we
had no choice.
What was done was to run an SQL command on postgres to change the expiry dates say
from 2023 to 2022.
What we have noted is that when this is done the WHOIS will report the correct 2022 expiry
date, the info_domain EPP command reports the same 2022 expiration date but when the
"fred-admin --object_regular_procedure" is excuted and then we run the
"poll req" EPP
command, it still gives the 2023 exDate
Would be interesting to find out why this is the case.
This is confusing the registrar managing such a domain and we would like to ask that these
dates should be the same in any future FRED uogarde.
Or is there a better way of rolling back the expiry date for a domain that has mistakenly
been
given more life years than wanted ?
