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 "<code class="literal">default</code>" 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> Key times that are in the past will not be updated unless the <code class="option">-f</code> is used (see below). Key inactivation and deletion times that are less than five minutes in the future will be delayed by five minutes. </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> </div> <div class="refsection"> <a name="id-1.14.12.8"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2> <div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"> <dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>file</code></em></span></dt> <dd><p> If <code class="option">-c</code> is specified, then the DNSSEC policy is read from <code class="option">file</code>.

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> <span class="emphasis"><em>Algorithm policies:</em></span> (<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> <span class="emphasis"><em>Zone policies:</em></span> (<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. If a zone does not have its own policy then the "<code class="literal">default</code>" policy applies. </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> <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em><code class="literal">;</code></span></dt> <dd><p> The key algorithm.

A default value for this option can be set in algorithm policies as well as in policy classes or zone policies.
