EPP SDKs

Verisign encourages the use of documented extensible provisioning protocol (EPP) extensions to facilitate interoperability. Verisign registers the set of EPP extensions it has documented in Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA's) EPP Extension Registry. Some of these EPP extensions may be subject to Verisign patents and are licensed under terms indicated in Verisign's associated IPR declarations. Please see Verisign Licensing Declarations for a full list.

Verisign implements to the entire EPP standard. Verisign has developed EPP software development kits (SDKs), guides and tools to help you develop your client applications for integration with the .com and .net (COMNET) and Consolidated Top-Level Domain (CTLD) Shared Registration Systems (SRS). The CTLD SRS supports .cc, .name and new gTLDs that implement to the EPP 1.0 RFCs:

EPP SDK Bundles

Verisign offers SDKs in Java and C++, where the EPP mappings and extensions supported by each language vary. The Java EPP SDK is built from a general core (gen) that implements RFC 5730 and RFC 5734. Developers have the option of using each mapping or extension independently or in a bundle, combined for convenience:

  • Verisign Bundle includes all mappings and extensions for integration with the COMNET and CTLD registry platforms
  • .com and .net RTK C++ Add-on for use with EPP-RTK-CPP 0.9.2. Available online from Sourceforge: EPP Registry/Registrar Toolkit

17. Updated the Login Security Extension to only support the RFC (1.0) version.
18. Added the com/verisign/epp/pool/*Tst.class classes for the testClient and the testClientServer Gradle tasks.
19. Added support for the minAbsoluteTimeout and maxAbsoluteTimeout session pool (single and system) properties to randomize the absolute timeout on a per session basis between the minimum and maximum absolute timeout. The absoluteTimeout property is overridden by the setting of both the minAbsoluteTimeout and maxAbsoluteTimeout properties.
20. Revised the test cases in com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPDomainTst.testDomainUpdate to exactly match the example provided in RFC 5731 and to add a case for an update with the host attribute model.
21. Changed the addresses attribute and associated accessor methods in com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPHostAttr to be Vector<EPPHostAddress> and created the hasAddresses() : boolean and addAddress(EPPHostAddress) methods.
22. Changed the com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPDomainAddRemove servers attributes and the associated accessor methods to use Vector<?> instead of Vector<String> to support both host objects (String) and host attributes (EPPHostAttr). Created the addServer(EPPHostAttr) method for host attribute to match the addServer(String) method for host object.
23. Replaced draft-ietf-regext-unhandled-namespaces-01 with draft-ietf-regext-unhandled-namespaces-03.
24. Updated com.verisign.epp.transport.client.EPPSSLClientSocket and com.verisign.epp.transport.client.EPPPlainClientSocket classes to use the EPP.ConTimeOut property for the connection timeout and the EPP.ReadTimeOut property for the read timeout. Previously, the EPP.ConTimeOut only applied to the read timeout and was not used for the connection timeout. The EPPEnv.getReadTimeOut() method was added for the EPP.ReadTimeOut property. The EPP.ConTimeOut property value will be used for the EPP.ReadTimeOut if the EPP.ReadTimeOut property is not set.
25. Updated the com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPDomainTst to use the new "add" methods for com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPDomainAddRemove.
26. Added "add" for the list attributes and "has" methods for all attributes in com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPDomainAddRemove.
27. Fixed reference of Vector<String> with Vector<EPPDomainStatus> for the statuses in com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPDomainAddRemove.
28. Added use of generics to the Vector attributes of com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPDomainAddRemove.
29. Added EPPUtil.namespaceToNamespaceSuffix(String), EPPUtil.findUnsupportedExtNamespaceSuffixes(List<String>, List<EPPCodecComponent), EPPCommand.findUnsupportedExtNamespaceSuffixes(List<String), EPPResponse.findUnsupportedExtNamespaceSuffixes(List<String) for easier configuration and logging using XML namespace suffixes.
30. Added EPPUtil.findExtNamespaces(List<EPPCodecComponent>, List<String), EPPUtil.findExtNamespaceSuffixes(List<EPPCodecComponent>, List<String), EPPCommand.findExtNamespaces(List<String), EPPCommand.findExtNamespaceSuffixes(List<String), EPPResponse.findExtNamespaces(List<String), EPPResponse.findExtNamespaceSuffixes(List<String) for more quickly identifying command and response extensions.
31. Replaced draft-ietf-regext-login-security-08 and draft-ietf-regext-login-security-09 with epp-login-security-rfc8807.
32. The Pool.[Client|Server|XMLSignature].<property> properties have been replaced with a single property per pool (EPP.[SchemaCachingParserPool|TransformerPool|XMLSignaturePool].size), where the pools are used in both the client and the server. The prior properties will be ignored and the default pool size is set to 10 if the new properties do not exist. Look to the new bundles/verisign/epp.config for use of the new pool properties.
33. Replaced PoolMan with Apache Commons Pool 2 for the parser and transformer pools. The Singleton classes com.verisign.epp.pool.parser.EPPSchemaCachingParserPool, com.verisign.epp.pool.parser.EPPXMLSignatureParserPool, com.verisign.epp.pool.transformer.EPPTransformerPool, and epp.verisign.epp.util.EPPStrictContactParserPool needed to be created along with changes to the com.verisign.epp.util.EPPXMLByteArray, com.verisign.epp.util.EPPXMLStream, and other classes dependent on the pools.
34. Replaced the use of Apache Commons Pool 1 with Apache Commons Pool 2 for use in com.verisign.epp.pool.EPPSessionPool and associated classes. The maxActive pool property is deprecated for the maxTotal property and the initMaxActive property is deprecated for the initMaxTotal property. Removed use of the poolableClassName property.
35. Changed to use gradle 6.4 in gradle-wrapper.properties.
36. Updated from dnsjava version 2.1.9 to version 3.1.0.
37. Added com.verisign.epp.util.EPPUtil.findUnsupportedExtNamespaces(List<String>, List<EPPCodecComponent>), com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPCommand.findUnsupportedExtNamespaces(List<String>), and com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPResponse.findUnsupportedExtNamespaces(List<String>) to identify unsupported EPP extensions, and the associated unit tests in com.verisign.epp.util.EPPCodecTst.testFindDUnsupportedExtensions().
38. Revised com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPDomainCreateCmd to use generics for the Vector lists as a prototype for revising the EPP SDK to leverage generics while maintaining interface backward compatibility. Added has and add methods for each of the list properties (contacts, servers). Revised the servers list to work only with name server objects and added a new serverAttrs list and corresponding methods to use host attributes.
39. Revised com.verisign.epp.codec.domain.EPPDomainInfoResp to use generics for the Vector lists as a prototype for revising the EPP SDK to leverage generics while maintaining interface backward compatibility. Added has and add methods for each of the list properties (statuses, contacts, nses, and hosts). Revised the nses list to work only with name server objects and added a new nsAttrs list and corresponding methods to use host attributes.
40. Replaced draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees-20 with RFC 8748.

26. Removed decode support for the preWhois and postWhois elements in the restore report command of draft-hollenbeck-epp-rgp-03.
27. Added com.verisign.epp.util.EPPUtil.findDuplicateExtNamespaces(List<EPPCodecComponent>), com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPCommand.findDuplicateExtNamespaces(), and com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPResponse.findDuplicateExtNamespaces() to identify duplicate EPP extensions, and the associated unit tests in com.verisign.epp.util.EPPCodecTst.testFindDuplicateExtensions().
28. Cleaned up the com.verisign.epp.codec.domain code, by not hard coding the XML namespace prefix on decode, cleaning up the imports, cleaning up the comments, and generally making it more consistent with the newer code.
29. Added support for removing the auth info via the <domain:null> element by adding a new ELM_NULL authorization type and the removePassword() method to com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPAuthInfo.
30. Fixed a large set of javadoc errors and warnings.

15. Added support for secure packet logging by creating the com.verisign.epp.util.EPPSendReceiveLogger interface along with the default com.verisign.epp.util.EPPRawSendReceiveLogger class and the com.verisign.epp.namestore.util.EPPSecureSendReceiveLogger class. The default is to use the EPPRawSendReceiveLogger with the option of overriding the default using the EPP.SendReceiveLogger epp.config property. Set the property to com.verisign.epp.namestore.util.EPPSecureSendReceiveLogger to get the password and auth info attributes logged with the "MASKED" value.
16. Fixed a bug in com.verisign.epp.codec.emailFwd.EPPEmailFwdCheckResult that set the check reason to the email forwarding name on decode. Updated the EPPEmailFwdCheckResult.equals methods to ensure that all attributes are checked. Made related cleanup changes to com.verisign.epp.codec.defReg.EPPDefRegCheckResult.
17. Added an additional check in com.verisign.epp.util.EPPSchemaCachingEntityResolver to ensure that XML schemas in the classpath are the only XML schemas that can be dynamically loaded.

20. Added support for draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees-13 that adds the urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:fee-1.0 XML namespace with its associated fee-1.0.xsd XML schema, the com.verisign.epp.codec.fee.v1_0 package, and related classes.
21. Added the com.verisign.epp.interfaces.EPPLoginAdapter class, the optional "EPP.LoginAdapter" epp.config property, and added invoking the set LoginAdapter within com.verisign.epp.interfaces.EPPSession to support adding an EPP login extension.
22. Added hasService(String) : boolean and hasExtensionService(String) : boolean to com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPServiceMenu and com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPGreeting to be able to easily identify whether the server supports a specific object or extension service.
23. Added EPP.UseUserAgent (EPPEnv.isUseUserAgent() : boolean) and EPP.SDKVersion (EPPEnv.getSDKVersion() : boolean) epp.config properties to support providing the user agent information in the login security extension.
24. Added support for the Login Security Extension.
25. Added the getNamespace() : String method to the com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPCodecComponent interface and all of the implemented classes to make all components self-describing for the XML namespace.
26. Added the com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPPollMessageFilter utility class to filter EPP poll message responses based on the login services (object and command / response) supported by the client.
27. Modified the com.verisign.epp.serverstub.GenHandler.doPoll(EPPEvent, Object) method to call com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPPollMessageFilter in no-op and standard mode to demonstrate filtering the poll messages based on the client login services.
28. Added the getNamespace() : String method to some of the responses (EPPRgpPollResponse, EPPRelatedDomainExtDeleteResp, EPPBalanceInfoResp, EPPLowBalancePollResponse, EPPNameVerificationPendActionMsg) to ensure that they return the correct XML namespace.
29. Removed old fee extension versions including v06, v07, and v08.
30. Replaced references of reseller and resellerext to org and orgext.
31. Created the com.verisign.epp.codec.EPPPollMessageFilter interface that is implemented by the com.verisign.epp.codec.EPPXmlMsgPollMessageFilter, com.verisign.epp.codec.EPPExtValuePollMessageFilter, and com.verisign.epp.codec.EPPFullExtValuePollMessageFilter classes. The optional EPP.PollMessageFilter property is defined to set the desired filter for use within com.verisign.epp.serverstub.GenHandler.doPoll(EPPEvent, Object) when processing the poll messages.
32. Added support for draft-ietf-regext-org-10 by adding com.verisign.epp.codec.org.EPPOrgPendActionMsg, com.verisign.epp.serverstub.OrgPollHandler, and revising com.verisign.epp.serverstub.OrgHandler to handle a pending create and insert a pending action poll message based on a revised com.verisign.epp.interfaces.EPPOrgTst.
33. Replaced the expired test SMDs, SMD CRL, and revoked SMD list based on a posting by ICANN.
34. Fixed some of the XML namespace prefix and URI handling from within com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPValue to support the different poll message filters.
35. Renamed com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPPollMessageFilter to com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPXmlMsgPollMessageFilter, added com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPExtValuePollMessageFilter, and added com.verisign.epp.codec.gen.EPPFullExtValuePollMessageFilter to support three different approaches to filtering poll message data that is unsupported by the client based on the client's login services. The com.verisign.epp.serverstub.GenHandler.doPoll(EPPEvent, Object) is pre-defined to filter via EPPFullExtValuePollMessageFilter, but the filtering can be replaced to use one of the other filters.
36. Removed com.verisign.epp.util.TestErrorHandler and replaced it's used with com.verisign.epp.util.EPPXMLErrorHandler in the test classes.
37. Added the maskString(String) : String method to the EPPSendReceiverLogger class and it's derived classes for use in the EPPXMLErrorHandler class for masking sensitive XML parser errors like the 'pwType'.

1. Made setting of the XML entity resolver, based on the com.verisign.epp.util.EPPSchemaCachingEntityResolver, a configurable setting using the optional EPP.UseEntityResolver config property, with a default value of true.
2. Added relaxed contact validation support used to transition a thin registry to thick.  Relaxed validation leverages a new contact XSD (contact-1.0-relaxed.xsd) that makes the <contact:name>, <contact:addr>, <contact:city>, <contact:street>, <contact:cc>, and <contact:email> elements optional.  The new optional EPP.Contact.RelaxedValidation epp.config property must be set to true for the client and server stub to use and validate to the relaxed schema.
3. Replaced reference of com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.DocumentImpl to org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl in EPPUtil.
4. Added logging to EPPGenHandler.handleEvent(EPPEvent, Object).
5. Added getFirstPostalInfo() : EPPContactPostalDefinition to EPPContactInfoResp and EPPContact.
6. Added EPPDomainInfoResp.getContactByType(String) : EPPDomainContact, EPPDomainInfoResp.getAdminContact() : EPPDomainContact, EPPDomainInfoResp.getTechContact() : EPPDomainContact, and EPPDomainInfoResp.getBillingContact() : EPPDomainContact.
7. Added com.verisign.epp.pool.EPPClientTransIdGenerator interface, concrete com.verisign.epp.pool.ClientTransIdGenerator class, and the optional clientTransIdGenerator pool property to define the concrete EPPClientTransIdGenerator to use for generating client transaction identifiers for the login and logout commands for the pool.
8. Added EPPSession.sendMessage(EPPMessage) to help in testing a negative test case, but also as a potentially useful method for sending any EPPMessage to the session.
9. Added more debug logging to EPPSSLImpl.
10. Added validation of the EPPMessage type in the EPPDispatcher and the EPPByteArrayDispatcher to ensure that receiving an EPPResponse or EPPGreeting in the server will return an appropriate error message.
11. Added additional SSL Protocol options in the comments of the EPP.SSLProtocol property and set the default protocol to TLSv1 in the epp.config.
12. Updated the EPPUtil.decodeBooleanAttr(Element, String) method to properly identify a non-existent attribute and to enhance the format of the EPPDecodeException value to easier support.
13. Made the refundable and grace-period attributes of com.verisign.epp.codec.fee.v09.EPPFeeValue truly optional with no default value, while the applied attribute remained with the "immediate" default value based on the default value in the XSD. Added "has" methods for these attributes, changed the refundable to a Boolean to support a null value, and changed the encode and decode methods to handle non-existent attributes.
14. Added conveniance constructor that takes both a EPPFeeValue and a currency (String) parameter for the com.verisign.epp.codec.fee.v09 classes of EPPFeeTransform, EPPFeeCreate, EPPFeeRenew, EPPFeeTransfer, and EPPFeeUpdate.
15. Added methods for passing and returning the Base64 encoded signed code into com.verisign.epp.codec.verificationcode.EPPEncodedSignedCodeValue. The new EPPEncodedSignedCodeValue methods: decodeValue(byte[]), decodeValue(String), encodeValue(boolean) : String, encodeValueByteArray() : byte[], and encodeValueByteArray(boolean) : byte[] where added.
16. Added support for running the com.verisign.epp.verificationcode.china.ChinaVerificationCodeTst test without the VSP pool and by loading the DNVC from the dnvc.b64 file and the RNVC from the rnvc.b64 file.

1. Switched to be dependent on Java 6 instead of Java 5. The launch extension already was dependent on Java 6 and with the new dependency on the use of JAXB, the entire SDK is being moved to be dependent on Java 6.
2. Fixed a bug with encoding the XSD dateTime type in EPPUtil by using 4 digit precision for the seconds. The fix was to use a default of 3 digit precision (milliseconds) on the encode and to use JAXB DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime for parsing the dataTime value. Access methods were added (getTimeInstantFormat(): String and setTimeInstantFormat(String)) to enable changing the encoding format if needed.
