This document summarizes registry management tools that were presented at an advanced ccTLD workshop in Amsterdam. It outlines several open source tools for building domain name registry systems, including CoCCA, CodevNIC, DNRS, FRED, Net::DRI, OpenReg, Registro, and tinyReg. For each tool, it provides brief details about the project website, features, and licensing. It also discusses domain tasting, front running, and the Shared Registry System protocol.

nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools There are quite a few tools available, but many of them require work to use. Several allow you to build from them as a base (tinyReg, OpenReg, DNRS, etc...) All the tools we present, except for the Registro.br software, are Open Source licensed. Difference between GPL and BSD License... nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: The List ● CoCCA: Consortium Council of Country Code Administrators ● CodevNIC .fr project Co-developed NIC ● DNRS .nz Domain Name Registry System ● FRED .cz Free Registry for ENUM and Domains

nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Domain Tasting A short article discussing this: http://www.circleid.com/posts/84217_icann_gnso_kill_domain_tasting/
nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: CodevNIC ● Available and documented here: – http://codev-nic.generic-nic.net/ ● Developed with AFNIC (.fr), NIC-MG (Madagascar) and NIC-CI (Ivory Coast). ● Supports multiple policy models. ● Designed for smaller registries. ● Running in .ci now, .mg later? ● Utilizes software like request tracker (rt). nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: DNRS Web: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dnrs/ “The Shared Registry System is software (client and servers) for managing a domain name registry, and is most likely to be of use for managing a country TLD. The software was originally developed in 2002 to manage the New Zealand (.nz) domain name space.” ● Is what manages http://nzrs.net.nz/, or the New Zealand Registration Services. ● Designed for a single policy. ● Supports EPP but moving to SRS nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: DNRS ● .nz's discussion of SRS: http://www.nzrs.net.nz/downloads/draft-nzrs-srs-00.txt
● Robust. Manages over 300,000 domains.
● Contact nsrc@nsrc.org if you want to talk with the developers. ● Project has become more active this year. New release (2.0) in February. ● Give '# whois nzrs.net.nz' a try.
nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: FRED ● Available at http://fred.nic.cz/. ● Designed for Linux, but Jaap has ported current version to FreeBSD. ● Supports EPP and Ipv6. ● Demo CD is available here: http://fred.nic.cz/wiki/download
nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: FRED cont. From http://fred.nic.cz/wiki/features:
nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: Net::DRI ● From http://www.dotandco.com/services/software/Net-DRI/ ● Pretty easy to install, but you need to install listed Perl modules as standalone first. Preferable to use CPAN. ● Implements DNSSEC, EPP, RRP, Whois, etc. ● Is the core, or back-end tool used for front-end results like web pages.
nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: OpenReg ● Located at: http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/openreg/ ● Supports EPP. ● Does polling and load statistics gathering. ● Was adopted for use by .ve in 2005. ● Uses PostgreSQL and multiple daemons on one box to run. ● Generates zone files for use with BIND. ● Can download, install and test quickly.
nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: Registro ● This is what http://registro.br/ uses. ● In use at .ke (http://www.kenic.or.ke/) (Still?) ● Not free and requires translation and consulting to move to your registry. ● Multi-registrar support.
nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: tinyReg From the author's description of the product: The goal is a minimal but fully-functional, extremely robust, and exhaustively error-checked system using all open source components. domreg requires an externally-provided RPSL-interfaced registry for each TLD. domreg consists of three active components: – domreg registrant (user) web interface code – registrar registrar (manager) web interface code – mailack RPSL/email interface
nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: tinyReg ● Randy Bush (IIJ), Tom Jennings (WPS) and CFI Uganda started domreg. ● NSRC paid and volunteered staff to push domreg further. This became tinyReg. ● Joe Abley (ISC), Tom Jennings, Alain Aina (TRSTech) and Hervey Allen (NSRC) worked on second phase.
nsrc@ccTLD-advanced Amsterdam Tools: tinyReg ● Available at: http://nsrc.org/tinyReg/ ● A good description is here: http://nsrc.org/tinyReg/docs/extras/domreg-what.txt ● Initial setup here: http://ws.edu.isoc.org/cgi-bin/tinyReg/tinyReg ● Gives you core registry functionality, but code- base still needs work.
