  • Publication number: 20230082749
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer-readable medium, and an apparatus operable to perform the method is provided for managing multiple provisioned domain name system (“DNS”) registry objects. The method can include receiving, at a DNS registry, a multiple domain extensible provisioning protocol (“EPP”) command from a registrar on behalf of a registrant to perform an action for each provisioned DNS registry object of the multiple provisioned DNS registry objects; comparing the action with one or more allowable actions in a policy maintained by the registry; determining, by a processor, that the action is allowable based on the comparing; and performing, based on the determining, the action on each of the provisioned DNS registry objects in one transaction.

  • Publication number: 20220103654
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems, devices, and computer-implemented methods for providing secure access to a shared registration system of a domain name registry by generating authorization information associated with a domain name, storing the authorization information in an archive, receiving, from a non-registrar service provider, a request for access to functionality of a shared registration system of the domain name registry, where the request is associated with the domain name and includes authorization information, determining whether the received authorization information is valid using the archived authorization information, and allowing the non-registrar service provider access to the functionality of the SRS based on a determination that the second authorization information is valid.
