Hi everyone, Our domains that expired in February and March are stuck in "to be deleted" state, they never get deleted. On manual deletion or renewal the output is: Error: ObjectStatusProhibitsOperation Manual run of '/usr/sbin/fred-admin --object_regular_procedure' executes but doesn't give any output. Zones are still being generated with such 'to be deleted' domains excluded. The timezone is set to UTC in postregsql.conf Enum_parameters are as follows: expiration_notify_period -30 expiration_dns_protection_period 30 expiration_letter_warning_period 34 validation_notify1_period -30 validation_notify2_period -15 regular_day_procedure_period 0 object_registration_protection_period 6 handle_registration_protection_period 0 regular_day_outzone_procedure_period 14 outzone_unguarded_email_warning_period 25 enum_validation_continuation_window 14 regular_day_procedure_zone Africa/Johannesburg expiration_registration_protection_period 61 What could be the cause of this? Regards. Moeketsi

how to cc FRED registry notification e-mails to an admin e-mail address

by Dr P Nyirenda

Hello, I would like to find out if and how we can get a cc of every notification e-mail in FRED to go to a designated e-mail address for the attention or analysis of someone who adminsiters the FRED registry. I am aware that these e-mail notifications are archived in the FRED database but in our case the persons monitoring the registry do not have access to the database - and they should not have such sensitive access anyway The mailer config in FRED in our case is in /etc/fred/pyfred.conf and it does not give an option for such a cc address. If you worried about this or have or found a solution to it please let us know.

Recommended Linux distro for FRED

by Johan Olsson

Hi, I want to install FRED but would like some guidance when it comes to which Linux Distro I should use. According to the documentation I could use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), Fedora 24, Fedora 25, RHEL 7 or CentOS 7 but if I don't have any special preferences which one is most fitting for the latest stable version of FRED? Would be eternally thankful if any helpful soul could point me in the right direction. Best regards Johan Olsson

FRED-2.38

by Jaromir Talir

Hi, after some time we are announcing a new version of FRED. As usually release notes are published here: https://fred.nic.cz/documentation/html/ReleaseNotes/ We have intentionally not announced version 2.37 since this version was changing hardcoded default for WHOIS disclose flags from "everything is by default public" to "everything is by default hidden" of course because of GDPR. New default was again hardcoded and immediate upgrade could cause issue to registrars that relies on default policy. With version 2.38 this default policy is configuration option so registry has control when this policy change based on discussion with registrars. All the information should be seen from documentation. I'd like to pick one change from release notes to write about little bit more and this is handling incoming payments. We are trying to make FRED even more modular and move all about payments and invoices into separated module. There is background idea that at some point in time, this module could be replaced with generic accounting software that will take care of issuing invoices which should not be responsibility of registry. For now, the only visible change is that tab payments disappears from web administration interface (Daphne) and also associated database tables bank_payment and bank_statement are not required. My assumption is that this change doesn't have effect for any instance but in case it has, there is a new component called Pain (from "payments and invoices") that provides the same functionality but needs to be installed as additional thing. Feel free to ask more about this if you'd like to try it.

problem registrar EPP connection - timeout - ERROR: socket.sslerror: _ssl.c:477

by Dr P Nyirenda

One of our registrars is facing a problem making an EPP connection to our .mw registry running FRED. The connection sometimes succeeds and sometime it fails with "ERROR: socket.sslerror: _ssl.c:477" - on a random on-and-off scenario that seems rather random, we cannot tell when it will fail or succeed. After many observations, I requested the registrar to install fred-client so that I can also test the connection from their end. Sessions look like the ones copied here below where one session was successful to conned and the other one failed. I have looked at this in detail and I need help to check what is really going on. I have now done a TCPDUMP of these connections and the result is copied as here attached, one for a successful connection and one for a failed connection. You will see that in the failed connection TCPDUMP shows that the fred-client on 88.208.201.35 was talking to the FRED server on 196.45.190.7 but the fred-client appears to stop listening even though the FRED server makes a few more attempts to the fred-client. The registrar is experiencing the same for their own client, it sometimes connects successfully and sometimes fails with no predictable pattern. My logs including those on DAPHNE show that most other registrars are connecting ok with no such problems. Can you help check what the problem could be with this one registrar? Is there another log that I can check to see what exactly is causing these connections to fail?

SDNP 2nd .MW Registrars Training Workshop on 24 April 2018 at the Raylls Protea Hotel, Blantyre, Malawi

by Dr P Nyirenda

As you can see here below, in a few weeks we will be running our 2nd workshop for registrars and I am looking for ideas on how to grow our community of registrars. The few registrars that we have so far are having a tough time developing a registrar platform for EPP connections to FRED registry. So, I would like to learn from you on how you have grown your registrars, especially on assisting them technically to do EPP connections. Do you have any comments on our workshop agenda? Do you have a portal for registrars? Do you give them fred-client? Is there a registrar that has developed their own EPP client to connect to FRED and who is willing to share development or source for such a client? Please educate me ! We would be delighted if you could come to Malawi for the one day workshop? Regards, Paulos 2nd WORKSHOP ON .MW DOMAIN REGISTRARS SDNP, the .mw domains registry operator, will run the 2nd .MW Registrars Training Workshop on 24 April 2018 at the Raylls Protea Hotel, Blantyre, Malawi. More details on the workshop are available at SDNP registrar website at http://www.registrar.mw/registrars.php The aim of the workshop is to assist to develop, train and support a sustainable crop of Internet domain registrars in Malawi that do sustainable business on the viable Malawi .mw Country Code Top Level Domain, the .mw ccTLD, using a top of the range domain EPP registry platform. A detailed agenda has been developed for the workshop and a brief version is shown here below with more details available on the above website. Please do let us know if there is any particular topic that you would like to be covered or emphasized. The workshop is open to anyone interested but is particularly targeting registrars and potential registrars. Those interested should register by 19 April 2018. Registration form is available on the above website. There is limited space for 25 participants. We, therefore, cordially invite you to the workshop to learn, share knowledge and network with registrars in Malawi. As in the first workshop we have interest from registrars from abroad who also want to learn and to assist to share expertise and experience on how to develop and sustain a profitable registrar operation and industry in a place like Malawi. The workshop fee to assist to cover the venue is MK25,000 for accredited registrars and MK45,000 for those not yet accredited. Please pay in advance when you register to Malawi SDNP bank account number 674257 National Bank of Malawi, Chichiri Branch. Please bring a laptop for the hands-on exercises.

gTLD list to be inserted into FRED registry - .ruhr

by Dr P Nyirenda

. Is there a recommended new gTLD list recommended to be inserted into the FRED registry TLD database table? We at the .mw registry are now receiving regular requests for new gTLDs to be included into the FRED registry especially for DNS servers for nssets. The latest of these is .ruhr. We would hence like to find out if there is a list of new gTLDs that we can insert in the FRED registry data base to take care of these requests instead of having to do this on request when a registrar fails to include a DNS server into an nsset. How are the other FRED registry platform users handling this ?

Re: fred-users Digest, Vol 83, Issue 1

by Simon M. Balthazar

Hi Doc, We usually pull a latest list of TLD from IANA http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt You can write a script to compare what you have in registry with the list above. Take the new ones and insert them in enum_tlds ./simon On 3/12/18 2:00 PM, fred-users-request(a)lists.nic.cz wrote: > Send fred-users mailing list submissions to > fred-users(a)lists.nic.cz > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.nic.cz/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fred-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > fred-users-request(a)lists.nic.cz > > You can reach the person managing the list at > fred-users-owner(a)lists.nic.cz > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of fred-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. gTLD list to be inserted into FRED registry - .ruhr > (Dr P Nyirenda) > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2018 09:33:56 +0200 > From: "Dr P Nyirenda" <paulos(a)sdnp.org.mw> > To: fred-users(a)lists.nic.cz > Subject: gTLD list to be inserted into FRED registry - .ruhr > Message-ID: <5AA62D64.14050.26A3C073(a)paulos.sdnp.org.mw> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII > > . > > Is there a recommended new gTLD list recommended to be inserted into the FRED registry > TLD database table? > > We at the .mw registry are now receiving regular requests for new gTLDs to be included into > the FRED registry especially for DNS servers for nssets.

Error: CORBA object could not be found!

by Moeketsi Maphoi

Hello! I'm experiencing some difficulties with my Daphne web application on my new FRED server. All the Fred-* services are running including Fred-webadmin, fred-client also works well I can create objects. But after logging into Daphne I encounter the following error: Error: CORBA object could not be found! Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_webadmin/exposed.py", line 25, in _wrapper return view_func(*args, **kwd) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_webadmin/controller/adif.py", line 254, in login self._fill_session_data(form, user, corba_session_string) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_webadmin/controller/adif.py", line 207, in _fill_session_data cherrypy.session['Mailer'] = corba_obj.getObject('Mailer', 'ccReg.Mailer') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_webadmin/corba.py", line 104, in getObject return self.getObjectUsingContext(self.context_name, name, idltype) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_webadmin/corba.py", line 93, in getObjectUsingContext obj = self.context.resolve(cosname) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/CosNaming_idl.py", line 231, in resolve return _omnipy.invoke(self, "resolve", _0_CosNaming.NamingContext._d_resolve, args) NotFound: CosNaming.NamingContext.NotFound(why=missing_node, rest_of_name=[CosNaming.NameComponent(id='Mailer', kind='Object')]) I can navigate Daphne tabs but the 'Fields' drop down says 'Error loading data for filter button!'. Any ideas on a workaround on this? Thank you. Regards, Moeketsi Maphoi

FRED-Whois - Contact cause Internal Error

by Moeketsi Maphoi

Hello! I am having problems with my newly installed fred-whois server on Ubunu Server 16.04. What is happening is that the whois webpage can display all attributes as needed (after searching for a domain), when I click on attribute links like registrar ID they appear fine. The problem comes when I want to view or click on the contact attribute, it gives out the error code 500 Internal Server Error. This error only occurs when I want to view details about the contact attached to the domain, either be an administrative contact or technical contact. Apache error log show the following (searched for domain.domain, then click on the administrative contact): .mod_wsgi (pid=27416): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_whois/whois_wsgi.py'., referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d=domain.domain .Traceback (most recent call last):, referer: http://localhost/whois/?d=domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/beaker/middleware.py", line 155, in __call__, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d=domain.domain .return self.wrap_app(environ, session_start_response), referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d=domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_whois/whois_wsgi.py", line 145, in application, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d=domain.domain .links={'registrars_list': '/whois/registrars'}, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fred_whois/whois.py", line 1199, in render, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .answer['is_site_nic'] = settings.SITE_DIR_NAME == "nic", referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 54, in __getattr__, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .self._setup(name), referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 47, in _setup, referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .% (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE)), referer: http:// localhost /whois/?d= domain.domain .ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting SITE_DIR_NAME, but settings are not configured.

Dear All, I'm new to this list. Looking at page 18 of this doc (dated 2007!): http://www.aftld.org/bk/cairo2007/docs/FRED-20070529-PT-AfTLD.pdf I can see a preview of a GUI for FRED client.

Invoice prefixes for the new year - 2018

by Dr P Nyirenda

I am finding in FRED that I have to issue new invoice prefixes now that the year has changed from 2017 to 2018. If I do not do this then I get an error : "Missing invoice prefix" when I try to add credit to a registrar account using the #fred-admin --invoice_credit command I am having to do this for each zone which is painful because I have 10+ zones. Is there a way to update this automatically when the year changes ? Additionally, is there a way that I can run the #fred-admin --invoice_credit command for a zone and land on the correct prefix every time ? In many cases when I run the command #fred-admin --invoice_credit I get the error DEATAIL: Key (prefix)=(interger) already exits and I have to run the command a few more times before I land on an interger that the command accepts. How can I get around this and land on the correct interger for the command without having to repeat it?
