Query
domainstringrequired

The domain for which to activate a security key.

Example: domain=example.com
key_idinteger>= 1required

The security key's ID.

Note:

Use the WHM AP1 fetch_ds_records_for_domains function to locate the domain's security key ID.

Example: key_id=1
curl -i -X GET \
  -u <username>:<password> \
  'https://api.docs.cpanel.net/_mock/specifications/whm.openapi/activate_zone_key?domain=example.com&key_id=1'

Request

This function generates a DNSSEC zone key for a domain.

Note:

  • Only servers that run PowerDNS can use DNSSEC. If you call this function on a server that doesn't use PowerDNS, you will receive an error.
  • After you enable DNSSEC on the domain, you must add the Delegation of Signing (DS) records to your zone record and your registrar.
  • You cannot modify the DNSSEC security key. To make any changes, you must disable, delete, and re-create the DNSSEC security key.
Security
BasicAuth
Query
algo_numintegerrequired

The algorithm that the system uses to generate the security key.

  • 5 — RSA/SHA-1
  • 6 — DSA-NSEC3-SHA1
  • 7 — RSA SHA1-NSEC3-SHA1
  • 8 — RSA/SHA-256
  • 13 — ECDSA Curve P-256 with SHA-256
  • 14 — ECDSA Curve P-384 with SHA-384

Note:

We recommend that you use a 13 (ECDSA Curve P-256 with SHA-256) value if your registrar supports it.

Enum56781314
Example: algo_num=13
domainstringrequired

The domain for which to enable DNSSEC.

Example: domain=example.com
key_typestringrequired

The type of security key to add.

  • ksk — Key Signing Key.
  • zsk — Zone Signing Key.

Note:

You must call these values in lowercase.

Example: key_type=ksk
activeinteger

Whether to activate the new security key.

  • 1 — Activate.
  • 0 — Do not activate.
Default 1
Enum01
Example: active=1
key_sizeinteger

The security key size, in bits.

Note:

This parameter defaults to the following values, depending on the algo_num and key_type values:

  • algo_num = 5
    • ksk = 2048
    • zsk = 1024
  • algo_num = 6
    • ksk = 2048
    • zsk = 1024
  • algo_num = 7
    • ksk = 2048
    • zsk = 1024
  • algo_num = 8
    • ksk = 2048
    • zsk = 1024
  • algo_num = 13
    • ksk and zsk = 256
  • algo_num = 14
    • ksk and zsk = 384
