These functions will not be available until 18 May 2011. Please see our DNSSEC roll out plan for further information.

Web domain manager can be used to add and remove DS records for domain names in the parent zone file. Before using these functions, registrars must first enable the use of DNSSEC in their online service account.

Adding and removing DS records

From the domain list in web domain manager, click on a domain name - a summary of the domain name's details will be shown. DS records will be listed immediately after the list of nameservers for the domain. if there are currently no DS records for the domain, an 'Add DS record' link will be available. If DS records have already been added then the link will be 'Add/remove DS records'.

Click the appropriate link to add or change DS records. Below the list of existing DS records there is a text field for new DS records. Text for DS records should be of the form:

<key tag> <algorithm> <digest type> <digest>

For example: 5498 5 1 FAA0119283234239872398723498234987ABD001

Creating new DNSSEC enabled domain names

It is not currently possible to add a new domain name with DS records attached at the time of creation. The new domain name should be created as usual, then edited to add the DS record as above.
