KZONESIGN(1) Knot DNS KZONESIGN(1)

NAME

kzonesign - DNSSEC signing utility

SYNOPSIS

kzonesign [config_option] [options] zone_name

DESCRIPTION

This utility reads the zone's zone file, signs the zone according to given configuration, and writes the signed zone file back. An alternative mode is DNSSEC validation of the given zone. The signing or validation can run in parallel if enabled in the configuration (see policy.signing-threads and zone.adjust-threads).

Parameters

A name of the zone to be signed.

Config options

Use a textual configuration file (default is /etc/knot/knot.conf).
Use a binary configuration database directory (default is /var/lib/knot/confdb). The default configuration database, if exists, has a preference to the default configuration file.

Options

Write the output zone file to the specified directory instead of the configured one.
Allow key roll-overs and NSEC3 re-salt. In order to finish possible KSK submission, set the KSK's active timestamp to now (+0) using keymgr.
Instead of (re-)signing the zone, just verify that the zone is correctly signed.
Sign/verify the zone (and roll the keys if necessary) as if it was at the time specified by timestamp.
Print the program help.
Print the program version.

EXIT VALUES

Exit status of 0 means successful operation. Any other exit status indicates an error.

SEE ALSO

knot.conf(5), keymgr(8).
