+ <p>
+ <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-keymgr</strong></span> is a high level Python wrapper
+ to facilitate the key rollover process for zones handled by
+ BIND. It uses the BIND commands for manipulating DNSSEC key
+ metadata: <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-keygen</strong></span> and
+ <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-settime</strong></span>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ DNSSEC policy can be read from a configuration file (default
+ <code class="filename">/etc/dnssec-policy.conf</code>), from which the key
+ parameters, publication and rollover schedule, and desired
+ coverage duration for any given zone can be determined. This
+ file may be used to define individual DNSSEC policies on a
+ per-zone basis, or to set a default policy used for all zones.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-keymgr</strong></span> runs, it examines the DNSSEC
+ keys for one or more zones, comparing their timing metadata against
+ the policies for those zones. If key settings do not conform to the
+ DNSSEC policy (for example, because the policy has been changed),
+ they are automatically corrected.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A zone policy can specify a duration for which we want to
+ ensure the key correctness (<code class="option">coverage</code>). It can
+ also specify a rollover period (<code class="option">roll-period</code>).
+ If policy indicates that a key should roll over before the
+ coverage period ends, then a successor key will automatically be
+ created and added to the end of the key series.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If zones are specified on the command line,
+ <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-keymgr</strong></span> will examine only those zones.
+ If a specified zone does not already have keys in place, then
+ keys will be generated for it according to policy.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If zones are <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> specified on the command
+ line, then <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-keymgr</strong></span> will search the
+ key directory (either the current working directory or the directory
+ set by the <code class="option">-K</code> option), and check the keys for
+ all the zones represented in the directory.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It is expected that this tool will be run automatically and
+ unattended (for example, by <span class="command"><strong>cron</strong></span>).

+ <p>
+ The <code class="filename">dnssec-policy.conf</code> file can specify three kinds
+ of policies:
+ </p>
+ <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
+<li class="listitem">
+ <p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>Policy classes</em></span>
+ (<code class="option">policy <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> { ... };</code>)
+ can be inherited by zone policies or other policy classes; these
+ can be used to create sets of different security profiles. For
+ example, a policy class <strong class="userinput"><code>normal</code></strong> might specify
+ 1024-bit key sizes, but a class <strong class="userinput"><code>extra</code></strong> might
+ specify 2048 bits instead; <strong class="userinput"><code>extra</code></strong> would be
+ used for zones that had unusually high security needs.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ <p>
+ Algorithm policies:
+ (<code class="option">algorithm-policy <em class="replaceable"><code>algorithm</code></em> { ... };</code> )
+ override default per-algorithm settings. For example, by default,
+ RSASHA256 keys use 2048-bit key sizes for both KSK and ZSK. This
+ can be modified using <span class="command"><strong>algorithm-policy</strong></span>, and the
+ new key sizes would then be used for any key of type RSASHA256.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">
+ <p>
+ Zone policies:
+ (<code class="option">zone <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> { ... };</code> )
+ set policy for a single zone by name. A zone policy can inherit
+ a policy class by including a <code class="option">policy</code> option.
+ Zone names beginning with digits (i.e., 0-9) must be quoted.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+ <p>
+ Options that can be specified in policies:
+ </p>
+ <div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
+<dt><span class="term"><span class="command"><strong>algorithm</strong></span></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>

+ <p>
+ The length of time to ensure that keys will be correct; no action
+ will be taken to create new keys to be activated after this time.
+ This can be represented as a number of seconds, or as a duration using
+ human-readable units (examples: "1y" or "6 months").
+ A default value for this option can be set in algorithm policies
+ as well as in policy classes or zone policies.
+ If no policy is configured, the default is six months.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><span class="command"><strong>directory</strong></span></span></dt>

+<dt><span class="term"><span class="command"><strong>key-size</strong></span></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Specifies the number of bits to use in creating keys.
+ Takes two arguments: keytype (eihter "zsk" or "ksk") and size.
+ A default value for this option can be set in algorithm policies
+ as well as in policy classes or zone policies. If no policy is
+ configured, the default is 1024 bits for DSA keys and 2048 for
+ RSA.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><span class="command"><strong>keyttl</strong></span></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ The key TTL. If no policy is defined, the default is one hour.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><span class="command"><strong>post-publish</strong></span></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ How long after inactivation a key should be deleted from the zone.
+ Note: If <code class="option">roll-period</code> is not set, this value is
+ ignored. Takes two arguments: keytype (eihter "zsk" or "ksk") and a
+ duration. A default value for this option can be set in algorithm
+ policies as well as in policy classes or zone policies. The default
+ is one month.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><span class="command"><strong>pre-publish</strong></span></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ How long before activation a key should be published. Note: If
+ <code class="option">roll-period</code> is not set, this value is ignored.
+ Takes two arguments: keytype (either "zsk" or "ksk") and a duration.
+ A default value for this option can be set in algorithm policies
+ as well as in policy classes or zone policies. The default is
+ one month.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><span class="command"><strong>roll-period</strong></span></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ How frequently keys should be rolled over.
+ Takes two arguments: keytype (eihter "zsk" or "ksk") and a duration.
+ A default value for this option can be set in algorithm policies
+ as well as in policy classes or zone policies. If no policy is

+ roll over by default.
