Domain Name Services - EPP Software Development Kits

VeriSign offers multiple EPP 1.0 Software Development Kits (SDK’s) for integration with the Name Store platform, the COM NET Registry, the NAME Registry, and for use with non-VeriSign Registries that implement to the EPP 1.0 RFC’s. The EPP 1.0 RFC’s include:

The SDK’s are provided in either Java or C++, where the EPP mappings and extensions supported by each language varies. The Java SDK is built from a single core called “gen” (short for general) that implements RFC 4930 and RFC 4934. Each additional mapping or extension can be built and packaged separated but are grouped into “bundle” distributions for convenience. Additional mappings and extensions can be added to a “bundle” distribution to form a configuration that meets your integration requirements. The “bundle” distributions include:

There is one add-on distribution for implementation of the Contact Mapping (RFC 3733) which can be added to the Name Store / SRS Bundle for integration with a thick registry. The NAME Bundle already includes the Contact Mapping.

VeriSign has created a C++ EPP-RTK add-on for the COM NET Registry that is available from the Sourceforge EPP-RTK web page. The COM NET RTK C++ Add-on is dependent on the usage of EPP-RTK-CPP 0.9.2.

The following table maps the EPP mappings and extensions to the supporting EPP distributions. Bolded items are new or updated.

Name Store / SRS Bundle Software Development Kits

The following table includes the supported Name Store / SRS Bundle Software Development Kits

Version	Distributions	Documents	Notes
3.7.0.3	Unix Binary Unix Source Windows Binary Windows Source	Programmer’s Guide Change Log	Removed RCC entries from the NameStore Bundle default configuration and test code Removed CLS from the bundle Added the JobsContact extension to the bundle Added Contact to bundle Added the EPPSession.getClientCon() method and made the EPPSSLClientSocket.getSocket() method public to support SSL Re-negotiation. Added the EPP.MaxPacketSize configuration property to override the EPPXMLStream maximum packet size that was previous defined by the constant MAX_PACKET_SIZE. The EPPXMLStream.MAX_PACKET_SIZE has been renamed to EPPXMLStream.DEFAULT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE and used if the EPP.MaxPacketSize property is not set. Added support for specifying a period of 0 to match the EPP specification as identified in SR 1288144. Added "getXmlSchemas() : Set" method to EPPFactory, EPPMapFactory, EPPExtFactory, and the derived classes of EPPMapFactory and EPPExtFactory to specify the XML schemas that need to be pre-loaded to support the latest EPP RFC’s
3.6.1.0	Unix Binary Unix Source Windows Binary Windows Source	Programmer’s Guide Change Log	Updated the Programmer’s Guide Added support for separate SSL configurations per session pool. This is not supported for HTTPS. Support for RCCTLD Transfers Removed references to EU Sunrise RCCTLD Extension Support for setting authInfo for all transfer commands Fixed a connection leak within the session pool when there is a failure during EPPSession.initSession. Updated EPPSessionPool.returnObject(EPPSession) to check that the session is not null prior to returning to ensure that the numActive does not go negative. Added support for specifying the SSL enabled protocols and enabled cipher suites.
3.5.1.0	Unix Binary Unix Source Windows Binary Windows Source	Programmer’s Guide Change Log	Explicitly set the pool minEvictableIdleTimeMillis configuration property Fix SR #907237 Javadoc updates to the Name Suggestion Product
3.5.0.0	Unix Binary Unix Source Windows Binary Windows Source	Programmer’s Guide Change Log	Added Name Suggestion

NAME Bundle Software Development Kits

The following table includes the supported NAME Bundle Software Development Kits

Version		Distributions	Documents		Notes
1.1.1.0	Unix Binary Unix Source Windows Binary Windows Source			Readme Install Change Log	Added "getXmlSchemas() : Set" method to EPPFactory, EPPMapFactory, EPPExtFactory, and the derived classes of EPPMapFactory and EPPExtFactory to specify the XML schemas that need to be pre-loaded. Added the EPP.MaxPacketSize configuration property to override the EPPXMLStream maximum packet size that was previous defined by the constant MAX_PACKET_SIZE. The EPPXMLStream.MAX_PACKET_SIZE has been renamed to EPPXMLStream.DEFAULT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE and used if the EPP.MaxPacketSize property is not set. Added support for specifying a period of 0 to match the EPP specification as identified in SR 1288144. Added diagnostic logs to EPPSession to better track information associated with the state of the session Added EPPSessionPoolTst.testCloseSession() test and added a supporting change to GenHandler to test the server closing the connection before the client.
1.1.0.0		Unix Binary Unix Source Windows Binary Windows Source	Readme Install Change Log		Added setting the authInfo for all Domain, EmailFwd, DefReg, and NameWatch transfer commands. In sync with Name Store / SRS Bundle 3.6.1.0.
1.0.3.0		Unix Binary Unix Source Windows Binary Windows Source	Readme Install Change Log		Explicitly set the pool minEvictableIdleTimeMillis configuration property Fix SR #907237 Javadoc updates to the Name Suggestion Product

Protocol Tool

The Protocol Tool is a Java Client that can connect to multiple environments (OT&E, Production, EPP SDK Stub Server) with a set of customizable templates and with three menu layouts. The layouts supported include Name Store, SRS (COM/NET), and NAME. The Protocol Tool can connect to servers using multiple transports in parallel (EPP/SSL, EPP/TCP, EPP/HTTPS, EPP/HTTP). It requires Java 1.4 or higher and requires an official Java Keystore for connecting to OT&E or Production.

EPP Tool

The EPP Tool below is our interactive tool to be used for development and troubleshooting. The tool is designed to behave as though it is a Registrar application in the OT&E environment. Provided along with the Tool are a set of definitive, context-based interactive examples intended to help a developer create and troubleshoot their code design. The EPP Tool is currently only available for the Name Store platform.
