# domainCREATE-AUTHINFO2 Request

Function

The request is used to create an AuthInfo2 for a domain.

Any DENIC member can request a generation of an AuthInfo2 for a domain. DENIC then generates a password and sends it by post to the current domain owner at the address stored in DENIC's database.

Requirements

- The AuthInfo2 has to be between 8 and 16 characters long.

- The hash must be created using only the SHA-256 algorithm, without a salt and with a single iteration.

Request Parameters

A request consists of the fields of the “Chprov” data object and the following additional parameters, which are described below:

K/V Keyword | XML Namespace and Element | Occurrence min - max | Type / Length | Value Range | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Action | domain:createAuthInfo2 | 1 | enumeration | creauthinfo2-erule | This is the request type.
Version | - | 1 | enumeration | version-erule | This is the version. The keyword is only relevant for requests in the key/value format.
CtId | ctid | 0 - 1 | token 3 - 64 | Any visible Unicode character (according to Unicode version 3.1) | This is the unique transaction ID which is issued by the client.

Common Mistakes

An AuthInfo2 has already been stored.

Features

- An existing AuthInfo1 will persist.
- The administering RegAcc receives a message (either via RRI queue or via e-mail) informing it that an AuthInfo2 has been created for one of its domains.
- Only one AuthInfo2 can be stored for each domain.
- All domain holders receive a letter. The AuthInfo2 letters are sent worldwide.
- All domain holders receive the same Authinfo2.
- Maximum validity of an AuthInfo2 is 30 days. Upon expiration of this period, the AuthInfo will be deleted automatically.
- When the domain is deleted, an existing AuthInfo2 for the domain is also deleted.

- An AuthInfo2 can be stored for any existing domain independent of its status ("connect","failed" or “redemptionPeriod”).

- If an AuthInfo2 is deposited for a domain in the “failed” status, the corresponding notification letter will indicate the expiration date of the domain.
- If an AuthInfo2 is stored for a domain with „redemptionPeriod“ status, the term of the Redemption Grace Period is set anew to 30 days.
- For a domain in the status "redemptionPeriod", an AuthInfo2 can only be requested until midnight on the day of the purge release.

  Notice |  | Example: Redemption Grace Period = 30 Days 1. August: DELETE 20. August: CREATE-AUTHINFO2 31. August: Ende der Redemption Grace Period 19. September: Ende der Redemption Grace Period Text
