ldns-signzone(1)	     General Commands Manual		ldns-signzone(1)

NAME
     ldns-signzone - sign a zonefile with DNSSEC data

SYNOPSIS
     ldns-signzone [ OPTIONS ] ZONEFILE KEY [KEY [KEY] ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     ldns-signzone  is	used  to generate a DNSSEC signed zone. When run it will
     create a new zonefile that contains RRSIG and NSEC(3) resource records,  as
     specified in RFC 4033, RFC 4034 and RFC 4035.

     Keys  must  be specified by their base name (i.e. without .private). If the
     DNSKEY that belongs to the key in the .private file is not present  in  the
     zone,  it will be read from the file <base name>.key. If that file does not
     exist, the DNSKEY value will be generated from the private key.

     Multiple keys can be specified. Key Signing Keys are used as such when they
     are either already present in the zone, or specified in a	.key  file,  and
     have the SEP bit set.

OPTIONS
     -b     Augments  the  zone and the RR's with extra comment texts for a more
	    readable layout, easier to debug. DS records will have a  bubblebab-
	    ble version of the data in the comment text, NSEC3 records will have
	    the unhashed owner names in the comment text.

	    Without  this option, only DNSKEY RR's will have their Key Tag anno-
	    tated in the comment text.

     -d     Do not add DNSKEY resource records for used keys to the signed zone.

     -e date
	    Set expiration date of the signatures to this date, the  format  can
	    be YYYYMMDD[hhmmss], or a timestamp.

     -f file
	    Use  this  file  to  store	the  signed  zone in (default <original-
	    file>.signed)

     -i date
	    Set inception date of the signatures to this date, the format can be
	    YYYYMMDD[hhmmss], or a timestamp.

     -o origin
	    Use this as the origin of the zone

     -u     set SOA serial to the number of seconds since 1-1-1970

     -v     Print the version and exit

     -z [scheme:]hash
	    Calculate the zone's digest and add those as ZONEMD  RRs.  The  (op-
	    tional)  `scheme'  must  be  `simple`  (or	1)  and `hash' should be
	    `sha384' (or 1) or `sha512' (or 2).  This option can be  given  more
	    than once.

     -Z     Allow ZONEMDs to be added without signing

     -A     Sign  the DNSKEY record with all keys.  By default it is signed with
	    a minimal number of keys, to keep the response size for  the  DNSKEY
	    query  small,  and	only  the SEP keys that are passed are used.  If
	    there are no SEP keys, the DNSKEY RRset is signed with  the  non-SEP
	    keys.   This  option  turns off the default and all keys are used to
	    sign the DNSKEY RRset.

     -U     Sign with every unique algorithm in the provided keys.   The  DNSKEY
	    set  is signed with all the SEP keys, plus all the non-SEP keys that
	    have an algorithm that was not present in the SEP key set.

     -E name
	    Use the EVP cryptographic engine with the given  name  for	signing.
	    This can have some extra options; see ENGINE OPTIONS for more infor-
	    mation.

     -K algorithm-id,key-id

	    Use the key `key-id' as the signing key for algorithm `algorithm-id'
	    as	a  Key	Signing  Key  (KSK). This option is used when you use an
	    OpenSSL engine, see ENGINE OPTIONS for more information.

     -k algorithm-id,key-id
	    Use the key `key-id' as the signing key for algorithm `algorithm-id'
	    as a Zone Signing Key (ZSK). This option is used  when  you  use  an
	    OpenSSL engine, see ENGINE OPTIONS for more information.

     -n     Use NSEC3 instead of NSEC.

     If you use NSEC3, you can specify the following extra options:

     -a algorithm
	    Algorithm used to create the hashed NSEC3 owner names

     -p     Opt-out.  All  NSEC3  records in the zone will have the Opt-out flag
	    set. After signing, you can add insecure delegations to  the  signed
	    zone.

     -s string
	    Salt

     -t number
	    Number of hash iterations

ENGINE OPTIONS
     You  can  modify  the possible engines, if supported, by setting an OpenSSL
     configuration  file.  This  is  done  through  the   environment	variable
     OPENSSL_CONF.

     The key options (-k and -K) work as follows: you specify a DNSSEC algorithm
     (using  its  symbolic  name, for instance, RSASHA256 or its numeric identi-
     fier, for instance, 8), followed by a comma and  a  key  identifier  (white
     space  is	not  allowed between the algorithm and the comma and between the
     comma and the key identifier).

     The key identifier can be any of the following:

	 <id>
	 <slot>:<id>
	 id_<id>
	 slot_<slot>-id_<id>
	 label_<label>
	 slot_<slot>-label_<label>

     Where '<id>' is the PKCS #11 key identifier in hexadecimal notation,  '<la-
     bel>' is the PKCS #11 human-readable label, and '<slot>' is the slot number
     where the token is present.

     More recent versions of OpenSSL engines may support the PKCS #11 URI scheme
     (RFC 7512), please consult your engine's documentation.

     If  not  already  present,  a DNSKEY RR is generated from the key data, and
     added to the zone.

EXAMPLES
     ldns-signzone nlnetlabs.nl Knlnetlabs.nl.+005+12273
	    Sign the zone in the file 'nlnetlabs.nl' with the key in  the  files
	    'Knlnetlabs.nl.+005+12273.private'.  If the DNSKEY is not present in
	    the zone, use the key in the file 'Knlnetlabs.nl.+005+12273.key'. If
	    that is not present, generate one with default values from	'Knlnet-
	    labs.nl.+005+12273.private'.
