OK I recently decided to change the algorithm on all our domains
from RSASHA1 to RSASHA256. Before making the change globally; I
experimented with one domain. I did so by adding a new policy:
CURRENT
policy:
- id: rsa1
algorithm: RSASHA1
ksk-size: 2048
zsk-size: 1024
dnskey-ttl: 43200
zsk-lifetime: 30d
ksk-lifetime: 365d
NEW (PROPOSED)
policy:
- id: rsa2
algorithm: RSASHA256
ksk-size: 2048
zsk-size: 2048
dnskey-ttl: 43200
zsk-lifetime: 30d
ksk-lifetime: 365d
DOMAIN TESTED ON
# a-domain
- domain: a-domain
file: "masters/a-domain"
zonefile-load: difference
dnssec-signing: on
# dnssec-policy: rsa1
dnssec-policy: rsa2
semantic-checks: on
serial-policy: dateserial
acl: [locals, remotes01, remotes03, remotes04]
To preform the intended change. I first set the the current keys on the
test domain to: retire=+1hr
I then added the new policy and assigned it to the testing domain. Then
restarted the knot service. After the hour and some had passed. I performed a
keymgr a-domain del-all-old which removed the old algorithm (RSASHA1) keys.
But I think this was a mistake.
How would I best make this change? Is it enough to simply change algorithm:
and knot will just do the right thing?
Thanks!

Hi,
We're preparing to migrate our zones from OpenDNSSEC 1.4 to Knot DNS 3.1
(and eventually the .is zone).
We've already migrated one unsigned zone to the new signers, but next on
the list is first currently signed zone.
We're going to migrate the zone by doing a key rollover, so we'll add
DNSKEY records for the new keys to the zone on the old signer and vice
versa. While we're migrating the zone we have to stop automatic key
rollovers, and I planned to create a new policy 'dnssec_freeze' with
`manual: on` and apply it to zones during migration.
Am I correct that this will stop all automatic key rolloveres, but keep
the signatures updated?
The the migration is complete, DS records and delegations have been
updated etc., I'll change the policy to an automatic policy. Will knot
seamlessly start automatically rolling over keys according to the new
policy?

I am trying to import a public key generated by BIND into Knot, when using
the SoftHSM2 key store. I have the following pieces of information:
In my knot.conf file:
policy:
- id: SoftHSMRSAPolicy
algorithm: RSASHA256
ksk-size: 2048
zsk-size: 2048
ksk-lifetime: 7h
zsk-lifetime: 6h
dnskey-ttl: 12s
zone-max-ttl: 15s
keystore: SoftHSM
zone:
- domain: 00.mydomain.com
storage: /srv/knot
file: db.mydomain00
dnssec-signing: on
dnssec-policy: SoftHSMRSAPolicy
The public key is in a file named pubkey, and has the following contents:
; This is a zone-signing key, keyid 14694, for 00.mydomain.com.

(The DNSKEY record is in a single line.)
The command I am using to import this key is
# ./keymgr 00.mydomain.com. import-pub ./pubkey
This spins for a few seconds and then prints out:
Error: file error
Any ideas as to what it is that I am doing wrong?
The command that I am invoking to import this public key is the following:
I have been trying to get a better understanding concerning the information
Knot stores in its KASP. Knot adds new key information into the KASP by
means of the kasp_db_add_key function. One of the arguments to this
function is a pointer to a key_params_t structure, one of whose members is
called is_pub_only. This would seem to imply that the KASP may contain
information about key pairs such that only the public component of the key
pair is available to Knot.
Under what set of circumstances would such a key be stored in the KASP?
Since they are used for signing RRs, any KSKs and ZSKs in the KASP have to
be complete, in that both the private and the public components are
available to Knot (I know that the private component itself is not present
in the KASP, but that's OK). A KASP key for which the private component is
not available could be used for verifying signatures - but that's not
something that Knot does, right?
So, under what set circumstances would Knot add a key to the KASP such that
the is_pub_only member is set to true?
Hi,
I'm trying to dig into the dns-benchmark tools, but am running into a
few issues. I realized that it requires some specific settings, like
/home/dnsbench seems to be hardcoded for the logs somehow, and it being
run as root, but now I see a lot of syntax error message flooding me,
with lines in between about that hostname is an invalid number:
standard_in) 2: syntax error
(standard_in) 2: syntax error
(standard_in) 2: syntax error
(standard_in) 2: syntax error
(standard_in) 1: syntax error

knot2 ssh: % answered for Could q/s, not B avg (resolve a/s, 0 B avg)
(repeated output)
Anyone else using the tools and potentially can give me a prod in the
right direction? We'd like to check how knot performs in our
environment with the systems we have at hand.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Rhonda
Hi,
we've had knot in use for years now and are still using version 1.6.7. I
We've recently migrated e-mail to exchange online. I've been asked to update the MX record in the zone to point to mail.protection.outlook.com.
I initially tried to simply replace the current value by mail.protection.outlook.com but then the name of the zone is added to the value. This is not a valid record.
I see no way to update the MX record to this value. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Kind regards,
Dirk
There is an Internet draft (
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-koch-dnsop-dnssec-operator-chan…)
that describes a mechanism to facilitate the operation consisting of
changing the DNS delegation for a signed DNS zone. Since this is a draft, I
do not expect for Knot to provide support for it already (in fact, I know
it does not, for it involves signing a DNSKEY RR, which Knot does not do)
but I wonder whether this is something that is in Knot's roadmap?
