ods-enforcer - OpenDNSSEC enforcer Engine client
Contents
Description
ods-enforcer is part of the OpenDNSSEC software. With this tool, you can send commands to the enforcer
engine daemon. ods-enforcer manages the operation of the KASP Enforcer, which is the part of OpenDNSSEC
that triggers key generation and signing operations on domains based on policies with user-defined timing
and security requirements. Among the functions of ods-enforcer are key management, import to the zone
list and manually rolling keys to recover from exceptional situations like key loss. The following
sections discuss the subcommands.

will log all the problems via stderr.
Files
/etc/opendnssec/conf.xml

/etc/opendnssec/kasp.xml
The configuration of policies that define timing and security, as defined in conf.xml.
/var/lib/opendnssec/unsigned/
The location that is usually configured in conf.xml which contains unsigned zones.
/var/lib/opendnssec/signed/

Generic Options
help Show a brief list of commands.
start Start the engine and the process.
stop Stop the engine and terminate the process.
reload Reload the engine.

Return acknowledgment that the engine is running.
verbosity
Set verbosity to the given number.
Key Management Subcommands
keylist[--verbose][--debug][--full][--parsable][--zone][--keystate][--all]
List information about keys in all zones, or in a particular zone from the database.
keyexport(--zone<zone>|--all)[--keystate<state>][--keytype<type>][--ds]
Export DNSKEY(s) for a given zone/all from the database.
keyimport--cka_id<CKA_ID>--repository<repository>--zone<zone>--bits<size>--algorithm<algorithm>--keystate<state>--keytype<type>--inception_time<time>
Add a key which was created outside of the OpenDNSSEC code into the enforcer database.
keyds-submit--zone<zone>(--keytag<keytag>|--cka_id<CKA_ID>)
Issue a ds-submit to the enforcer for a KSK.
keyds-seen--zone<zone>(--keytag<keytag>|--cka_id<CKA_ID>)
Issue a ds-seen to the enforcer for a KSK.
keyds-seen--all
Issue a ds-seen for all ready (for ds-seen) KSKs. This command indicates to OpenDNSSEC that a
submitted DS record has appeared in the parent zone, and thereby trigger the completion of a KSK
rollover.
keyds-retract--zone<zone>(--keytag<keytag>|--cka_id<CKA_ID>)
Issue a ds-retract to the enforcer for a KSK.
keyds-gone--zone<zone>(--keytag<keytag>|--cka_id<CKA_ID>)
Issue a ds-gone to the enforcer for a KSK.
keygenerate--duration<duration>(--policy<policy>|--all)
Pre-generate keys for all or a given policy, the duration to pre-generate for can be specified or
otherwise its taken from the conf.xml.
keypurge(--policy<policy>|--zone<zone>|--delete)
This command will remove keys from the database and HSM that are dead. If the --delete (or -d)
flag is given, the keys are also purged from the HSM. Keys are always purged from the HSM if the
<Purge>
keyrollover(--zone<zone>|--policy<policy>)[--keytype<keytype>|--all]
Start a key rollover of the desired type *now* or all of them. The process is the same as for the
scheduled automated rollovers however it does not wait for the keys lifetime to expire before
rolling. The next rollover is due after the newest key aged passed its lifetime.
rolloverlist[--zone<zone>]
List the expected dates and times of upcoming rollovers. This can be used to get an idea of
upcoming works.
Name

Policy Administration Subcommnads
policylist
List all policies in the database.
policyexport(--policy<policy>|--all)
Export a specified policy or all of them from the database.
policyimport
Import policies from kasp.xml into the enforcer database.
policypurge
This command will remove any policies from the database which have no associated zones. Use with
caution.
policyresalt
Generate new NSEC3 salts for policies that have salts older than the resalt duration.
Repository And Backup Subcommands
backuplist--repository<repository>
Enumerate backup status of keys.
backupprepare--repository<repository>
Flag the keys found in all configured HSMs as to be backed up.
backupcommit--repository<repository>
Mark flagged keys found in all configured HSMs as backed up.
backuprollback--repository<repository>repositorylist
List repositories.
Scheduling Options
queue queue shows all scheduled tasks with their time of the earliest executions, as well as all tasks
currently being processed.
flush Execute all scheduled tasks immediately.
enforce
Force the enforcer to run once for every zone.
