Filling Nominet Plug-in Configuration Form

Please read the two topics preceding this one to better understand the integration with the Nominet registrar.

To sell the .uk domains via Nominet, please visit the Nominet website, submit the Tag Holder application form and sign the Tag Holder Agreement.

To set up the Nominet plug-in and start reselling .uk domains, you should generate PGP keypair and approve your public key with Nominet automation.

The Registrar accepts domain registration requests via e-mail and sends the domain registration status responses (callback) via e-mail as well. The relevant message template for the domain registration requests is built in the plug-in. To ensure the reliable interaction between HSPcomplete and the Registrar, it might be necessary to submit the callback e-mail to the Registrar. All e-mail plug-ins generate callback e-mail addresses automatically at the moment of installation. The mailbox is created automatically. The Callback e-mail address field in the plug-in configuration form is read-only and shows you this callback e-mail.

Fill the Nominet plug-in configuration form in the HSPcomplete Domain Manager:

  1. Click the Edit button on the plug-in screen. Fill the form that appears:
    1. Type the e-mail address to send the domain applications and other domain related requests into the Gateway e-mail address field.
    2. You can check the Test mode box to check the integration with Nominet in the test mode when no domains are actually registered, but all requests are sent similarly to the production mode.

      Note: The 'Test mode' allows you to test your settings and generated signatures. In this mode you can register domain names only with the automaton-test- prefix. Domains will not be actually registered, but plug-in operability can be fully checked. Please keep in mind that, the unavailability for registration the domain names other than 'automaton-test-*.uk' will be considered as domain lookup failure, so these domains lookup will produce 'Requested domains are not available' and such domains will be listed in the 'Unavailable domains' section of the lookup results screen.

    3. Type your Nominet tag into the Tag name field.
    4. Enter the secure key passphrase into the Passphrase for secret key field.
    5. Paste the public key content into the Public key field.
    6. Paste the secure key content into the Secret key field.
  2. Click the OK button.

After you save the settings, the keypair will be imported into the Management Node secure directory and will be used for signing e-mail messages sent to the Nominet gateway.
