I've written this so you can properly use your own certificates in a FRED production environment, either using your own or an external CA.

Dear all,
I am having a problem installing fred when I install fred-pyfred, it is
giving me an error saying that the popen2 is duplicated and I should
use the subprocess module.
I am confused and don't want to make more errors, can you help me?
Thank you
Hello everyone,
Probably this is the best place to ask, since WHMCS is being used by most small hosters today, does anyone know if there is some Module for WHMCS and FRED installations!?

Hello guys
Bryton's right. But let's not forget about registraracl table and MD5
fingerprint of the certificate after.
Some more details can be found in the excerpt I attach. They're not so
relevant in this case but they might be helpful to some folks in the
future. It's openssl and Ubuntu based.
Best

Jaromir,
I would like to participate.
It is my hope that you will have a detailed hands on installation session. I would like
to return with a working FRED registry on my Fedora laptop that includes the new
features as well like post paid billing.
Regards,
Paulos

Hi,
finally we managed to complete new version suitable for public release.
I uploaded files to http://fred.nic.cz/wiki/download
Just a quick summary of what are the main changes:
(1) auditing component - after 3 years running fred (2007-2010) we found
out that almost 99% of database size is in tables action and action_xml
used to log all incoming EPP communication and database is getting to be
non-maintainable. So we decided to change fred architecture and create
separate general component for logging incoming request. Database for
this consists of (request_*,session_*,..) monthly partitioned tables and
can be installed separately from main database. It its now used by EPP
fronted, unix whois, web whois and webadmin to store all requests in
FRED.
(2) billing component - invoicing was rewritten with intention to
support not only prepaid but also postpaid model. Price list can be
configured that in the way that charged operations are not blocked when
there is no credit, registrar sees negative credit in 'credit_info'
command and this is cleared when there is an incoming payment. Tables
for holding incoming payments were simplified and there is a simple way
to register new payment from general xml file describing payments. There
is also new component fred-transproc for transaction processing. It
queries IMAP and HTTP sources and transform responses into this new xml
file that is passed to fred. There are some example modules for our
local banks that can be used as starting point for your own modules
(3) messaging component - we added possibility to send and archive SMS
and snail mail letters automatically. But this is based on external
services so there must be some local company having web service for sms
or snail mail processing. Then script that call this web service must be
created and uploaded into fred for this feature to work.
(4) mojeid changes - we build a identity solution called mojeid (myid)
over registry (www.mojeid.cz). This is not part of fred and just use
fred as backend. It constis of validation of contact data by sending sms
to his phone number, email to his email address and snail mail letter to
his postal address. After completion of three pieces of information
send by this three channels we set status identified to this contact and
user can maintain his contact data directly through new application.
This contact also can take advantage of openid server and used the same
authentication process for different website supporting openid. I
mention this because you may see some of these mojeid changes in fred,
but actually are not useful for you. We are in the process of more
separating these things out of fred.
If you will decide to migrate we suggest to do new installation because
there are quite a lot of changes in configurations and than migrate
database according upgrade scripts in fred-db packages. Of course there
should be a intensive testing before going to production.
Regards,
Jaromir

Hello,
Does anyone know if there exists a full list of all the possible errors that might happen during the connection of Fred-Client with the server? The respective error messages might also be useful.
Thanks,
Besmira
Dear Sirs,
I am currently trying to run my EPP client against the fred testbed server "epp.demo.fred.nic.cz" (connection and certificate work perfectly).
But unfortunately I get a "greeting" response when I send a "login" request. Maybe you can tell me what I am missing (my last clTRID was FREDA-1333540552-b4bcf)?
I'll attach a dump of the hello+login commands I sent "OUT" together with the responses I got back "IN".
Thanks in advance!
Günther

Hello,
Does anybody know how to migrate to fred ?
I have database with domains, NS, admin-c, etc. and would like to migrate
to fred system.
Can anybody help me with it ?
Thanks.
Hello everyone
My question is not strictly related to FRED, as this is available in
"pure" EPP. Maybe it's a bit silly to ask but why would one want to
transfer a contact or nsset object existing in Registry?
Have you seen such cases?
Best
Piotr
