Understanding How The API Works »
Creating child Delegation Signer (CDS) records using the API requires specific syntax depending on whether you are using REST or SOAP. Use this table to find the syntax for your command.
See RFC 7344 for more information about the CDS record.
REST Syntax
Click to view all REST Resources |
/REST/CDSRecord/ POST — Creates a new child DS record on the designated node. NOTE: CDS records MUST be at the child zone apex.
HTTP Action — POST
URIs — https://api.dynect.net/REST/CDSRecord/<zone>/<fqdn>/ |
Arguments — Click for More Info
- hash
rdata — Required. RData defining the record to add.
- string
algorithm — Required. Identifies the encoding algorithm.
Valid values:
1 — RSA/MD5
2 — Diffie-Hellman
3 — DSA/SHA1
4 — Elliptic Curve
5 — RSA/SHA1 ** Use this value unless otherwise directed.
252 — Indirect Key
253 — Private – Domain Name
254 — Private – OID
- string
digest — Required. The digest in hexadecimal form. 20-byte, hexadecimal-encoded, one-way hash of the child DNSKEY record surrounded by parenthesis characters ‘(‘ & ‘)’.
- string
digtype — Required. Identifies which digest mechanism to use to verify the digest.
Valid values:
1 — SHA1 ** Use this value unless otherwise directed.
2 — SHA256
- string
keytag — Required. Identifies which digest mechanism to use to verify the digest.
- string
ttl TTL for the record. Set to “0” to use zone default.

rdata — RData defining the record to add.
- string
algorithm — Identifies the encoding algorithm. Default = 5 (RSA/SHA1)
- string
digest — 20-byte, hexadecimal-encoded, one-way hash of the child DNSKEY record.
- string
digtype — Identifies which digest mechanism to use to verify the digest.
Valid values:
1 — SHA1 ** Use this value unless otherwise directed.
2 — SHA256
- string
keytag — Identifies which digest mechanism to use to verify the digest.
- string
record_type — The RRType of the record.
- string
ttl TTL for the record. Set to “0” to use zone default.
- string
zone — Name of the zone.
