TLSA record support

Post by candrews »

TLSA records are part of the implementation of DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities). These records allow for an alternative (or supplement) to the Certificate Authority system for verifying TLS certificates.

The relevant RFC is https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6698 - combined with DNSSEC (which Rollernet already supports), DANE offers an interesting new way to implement (or supplement) web security.

Thanks!

It is supported by the underlying server, I'll look in to putting it in the interface.

Here's an easy to use UI for generating TLSA records: https://www.huque.com/bin/gen_tlsa I think the Rollernet interface would probably use the same fields. Also, for reference, the RFC is https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6698

I just noticed while working on other Primary DNS stuff that TLSA wasn't listed under the supported record types in the help docs. It's in there now.
