DNSSEC-IMPORTKEY(8)



DNSSEC-IMPORTKEY(8)                 BIND 9                 DNSSEC-IMPORTKEY(8)

NAME
       dnssec-importkey  - import DNSKEY records from external systems so they
       can be managed

SYNOPSIS
       dnssec-importkey [-K directory] [-L  ttl]  [-P  date/offset]  [-P  sync
       date/offset]  [-D  date/offset]  [-D  sync date/offset] [-h] [-v level]
       [-V] {keyfile}

       dnssec-importkey {-f filename} [-K directory] [-L ttl] [-P date/offset]
       [-P  sync  date/offset] [-D date/offset] [-D sync date/offset] [-h] [-v
       level] [-V] [dnsname]

DESCRIPTION
       dnssec-importkey reads a public DNSKEY record and generates a  pair  of
       .key/.private  files.  The  DNSKEY  record may be read from an existing
       .key file, in which case a corresponding .private file will  be  gener-
       ated, or it may be read from any other file or from the standard input,
       in which case both .key and .private files will be generated.

       The newly-created .private file does not contain private key data,  and
       cannot  be  used  for signing. However, having a .private file makes it
       possible to set publication (-P) and deletion (-D) times for  the  key,
       which  means the public key can be added to and removed from the DNSKEY
       RRset on schedule even if the true private key is stored offline.

OPTIONS
       -f filename
              Zone file mode: instead of a public keyfile name,  the  argument
              is  the DNS domain name of a zone master file, which can be read
              from file. If the domain name is the same as file, then  it  may
              be omitted.

              If file is set to "-", then the zone data is read from the stan-
              dard input.

       -K directory
              Sets the directory in which the key files are to reside.

       -L ttl Sets the default TTL to use for this key when  it  is  converted
              into  a  DNSKEY  RR. If the key is imported into a zone, this is
              the TTL that will be used for it, unless  there  was  already  a
              DNSKEY RRset in place, in which case the existing TTL would take
              precedence. Setting the default TTL to 0 or none removes it.

       -h     Emit usage message and exit.

       -v level
              Sets the debugging level.

       -V     Prints version information.

TIMING OPTIONS
       Dates can be expressed in the format YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. If the
       argument  begins with a '+' or '-', it is interpreted as an offset from
       the present time. For convenience, if such an offset is followed by one
       of  the  suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi', then the offset is
       computed in years (defined as 365 24-hour days, ignoring  leap  years),
       months  (defined  as  30 24-hour days), weeks, days, hours, or minutes,
       respectively. Without a suffix, the offset is computed in  seconds.  To
       explicitly prevent a date from being set, use 'none' or 'never'.

       -P date/offset
              Sets the date on which a key is to be published to the zone. Af-
              ter that date, the key will be included in the zone but will not
              be used to sign it.

       -P sync date/offset
              Sets  the  date on which CDS and CDNSKEY records that match this
              key are to be published to the zone.

       -D date/offset
              Sets the date on which the key is  to  be  deleted.  After  that
              date,  the  key  will no longer be included in the zone. (It may
              remain in the key repository, however.)

       -D sync date/offset
              Sets the date on which the CDS and CDNSKEY  records  that  match
              this key are to be deleted.

FILES
       A keyfile can be designed by the key identification Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii or
       the full file name Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.key as generated by dnssec-keygen8.
